Greetings Gardeners!
We've been studying soil, cycles, and seasons for much of the Fall.
These are essential themes in our garden...and in life!
Energy moves from the sun, to plants, to animals, and back into the soil through the NUTRIENT CYCLE (compost, rot, decomposition).
*We can observe how energy moves through ecosystems in food chains and food webs!
"Predator and prey, producers and decay are in the food chain, CHAIN CHAIN!"
What role do YOU play in the food chain?
Where have you seen decomposition and decay?
Activity: Draw the organisms of a garden (or other ecosystem!) on a piece of paper.
How are they connected?
Connect them together with arrows!
*Everything is connected!*

*How are you interdependent on the plants and animals around you?
