Dirt Movers

We had a great time at the college trails investigating fungus, mold, bugs, and other creatures that decompose dead material.  Without these important organisms in our ecosystems, our world would be littered with miles deep of dead leaves, trees, and animal carcasses!

Olivia, Maddy, and Elizabeth check out what's under the log.  We kept track of our findings on our data sheets.

Jayden, Eric, and Nathan search for critters under a big rock.

Are there any decomposers in this tree?
