Science THIS week! by LA

In our class we watched a video called the Rotten Log. We learned about - when a log falls over, lots of animals come and eat it. Also, a log is home to lots of animals. Some of the animals that come are worms, mushrooms and bacteria.  When it is done there is lots of dirt and lots of plants grow in the dirt.  by LA

The Rotting Log

This week in Mrs. Bucci's AMAZING class we learned why the earth isn't covered with dead trees.  The earth isn't covered with dead trees because there are things called bacteria and decomposers. These are fundamental because they recycle the dead trees. Decomposers use white tentacle like things that absorb their food! The next part of this cycle is the decomposers turn the tree into the soil and the next plant can grow. This is why I think this cycle is fascinating.  by SF
