Photo: light. Sun lighting the sky
so we can see the birds.
Synthesis: combine. A green melding.
Bring together the words:
Photosynthesis! Creating all food
from rays of the sun.
Plant cells transform: water and
carbon dioxide to oxygen
and sugar. Plants are the producers,
with this amazing feat
give us air to breathe, wood to build with
and food to eat.
Animals, the consumers eat leaf, root,
fruit and seed.
In turn, the poo and bodies
of all living creatures feed
the soil. Nutrients return, the nourishing
earth is not depleted.
Waste broken down by decomposers,
the cycle of life is completed.
