I would use this story during a lesson on recycling or food chains. The students would analyze the decomposers that the book gives information on. We would discuss how these critters break down food, making it nutrients for plants. Then we would discuss which animals in nature eat the decomposers, and so on. This is a good book to teach students about the importance of composting for our environment. The close up images of these critters would make it engaging for students, seeing as these are all critters they are familiar with. ( ) More interesting than you might imagine. Lavies documented bug behavior which I'd never heard of - mites and snails catching rides on the backs of larger critters, much like catching a bus. Her focus is her own compost pile, so the list isn't exhaustive. No mention of black soldier flies or red wigglers. The photography is impressive.
With each handsome book since Lily Pad Pond (1989), this gifted former National Geographic photographer comes up with a stronger, more significant text. Here, she details the many forms of life nourished by her compost heap--and by each other--during the heap's first year.... The book would have been enriched by a note on the photography..., including degrees of magnification, and by a list of species. Still, a fine offering that splendidly conveys the fecundity of the homely household heap.... PremisLlistes notables
Describes what happens in a compost pile and how creatures, from bacteria and mites to millipedes and earthworms, aid in the process of turning compost into humus. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
