The boys are doing an experiment with organic and non-organic materials. We made a wooden board with apples, plastic, banana, glass, cardboard and aluminum canister. Then we dug it into the ground in a safe place for it to be reclaimed in April. What has happened then? Will any of the materials be gone and what materials dissolve?

10. ..and now it was April 2012 and time to dig
it up

11. ..but first we have to find it

12. “It is here”

13. We dug up all kind of worms

14. Finally we managed to dig up the
sticks

15. Thats how it is

16. The result is that
 The nature could disolve the banana,
apple and paper, but not aluminum, glass
and plastic.
 Organic materials
◦ banana, apple and paper
 Non-organic materials
◦ aluminum, glass and plastic

17. Message to you all
