Botanic Gardens:
On a cold Thursday morning room 12 walked to the Botanic Gardens to learn about the different sides of how nature works. We got split up into 3 groups and each got an educator to help us learn about the life-cycle and the death-cycle of inverterbrates. It was enjoyable because we got taught about the F.B.I's (Fungus/Fungi Bacteria Inverterbrates), how to make a worm farm and about leaf litter to save money while helping the environment. At the end of the day we had a treasure hunt, that made us see how beautiful our environment is, so we can have a better community with everyone in it.
In this part of the morning, one of the educators got us to grab 1 green leaf, 1 yellow leaf and 1 of the most deadliest brownest leaves we could ever find. She got us to put them from the greenest leaf to the most deadliest leaf. This is part of the Life-cycle and the death-cycle of decomposing of the inverterbrates. The leaves that we found on the ground were called leaf litter. We learned a lot in this part of the morning.
The second part of the morning, we learned about how worms live their life and what is needed to make a worm farm.
Later on the educator got us to make a worm farm, so we can see what's good for the worms and whats bad for them. Not only that but to also see what a worm life is all about.
When we made the worm farm, we put in different types of food for the worm to eat. Like: Lettuce,potatoes,ripped up paper and apple cores with orange and banana peels. It was fun learning the different sides of a worms life.
A different educator brought us outside to talk about the decomposers at work. The green light represents how the garden waste is put on one side of something. The Orange light represents how the F.B.I's are at work, while the Red light represents how no more garden waste should be in the box because the F.B.I's are working on the other garden waste.
In this part of the day, the educator got us to make a decomponsition box and talked about what's good for the worms like the greens and the browns. The greens and the browns we should recycle because it will help make a good home for the worms, so it can be in the decomposition box.
