In this class, learners will find out who makes up Earth's clean-up crew! Nature creates its own 'garbage' in the form of animal waste, dead plants, and dead animals. All this waste can be recycled back into the earth as nutrients for plants to grow strong and healthy. These plants provide food for some animals who provide food for other animals! 
This is a great class for beginner scientists because no prior knowledge is required. Learners will see lots of photos and videos and discussion is encouraged.
Students can expect to learn:
*what decomposition is and how it benefits all of Earth
*who scavengers are and what their role is
*who decomposers are and what their role is
*what carrion is
*what detritus and detritivores are
*what saprotrophs are
If time allows, we will play a fun trivia game to see what students can remember. 
A simple, printable mini-book from the lesson will be available after enrollment.
