Fifth and sixth conducted an experiment outside where we buried different waste underground. We buried paper, plastic, glass, metal and food scraps. We dug a hole 15cm deep and buried each waste in a different hole. We made predictions to see if items would decompose. We dug them up a month later to see which ones were decomposed. The food waste decomposed but the other items did not. We were learning about recycling and composting. The experiment made us think about litter and waste and how we can help protect our environment.
