Lesson outcome

I can describe the 5Rs and how foods decompose (rot) to form useful nutrients for crops.

Show transcript
The 5Rs are Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rot. Compost is made by allowing certain types of food waste and other materials to decompose over time. Compost provides nutrients to help plants grow and be healthy. Compost needs air, moisture and the right mix of waste food and materials. Compost can be used in the school grounds to help plants and animals grow.
