Underground life (British Columbia)
The leaves are gone!
Have you noticed that that most of the leaves buried under the snow are not there anymore when spring arrives? Our biologists will learn about this phenomenon by participating in three fun experiments! They will become detectives to find the culprits of this mysterious disappearance! Once identified, they will observe under a microscope three of the culprits from our compost: springtails, mites and earthworms, which they will closely examine in their hands! An enjoyable and nutrient-enriched experience for young minds!
Objectives at the elementary level:
- Explain the scientific concepts of composting and recycling.
- Identify habitats and animal species associated with these habitats (night crawlers, fungi and burrowing animals).
- Describe how soils can meet the basic needs of living things.
