The girls 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?
