Decomposition





We have returned to our "woods" science unit that we did not complete before it got too cold this past fall. I am kind of skipping around in it for good "spring" activities as it is reall a good curriculum for the fall and is designed as such. This week it is decomposition and fungi - actually pretty cool to me. MB seems to be enjoying it - but hey I handed her a dull butter knife, a magnifying glass and some baggies and told her to go explore the old tree stumps in our natural area. For MB, this is wonderful!!

Yesterday, she spent several hours outside collecting specimens and picture of things she could not touch (mushrooms) and loved watching all the "bugs" in these old pieces of wood. She thought is was neat that something as large and thick as a tree could end up becoming dirt.

Peace,

Amy
