Science Update-Nature's Recyclers

This week began the last science unit, Nature's Recyclers. In this unit students learn about some of nature's recyclers. Nature's recyclers are organisms-large and small-which feed on dead organisms and waste, and carry out the process of decomposition. During the process, they release nutrients back into the soil or water to be used by other living plants.

Students have had a preview of some aspects of this unit with our UPA Goes Green project. The worms in the worm bins are one of nature's recyclers!
