We’ve had some fun in 5th grade science learning about the Food Web. We have had some hands on experiments watching worms (one of many decomposers), and seeing yeast eat sugar and create gas after students decided what variable to change in the experiment. Both worms and yeast are beneficial to us as humans. You may want to ask a 5th grader why.
