The language is simple, and the illustrations are easy to follow – even for younger learners or multilingual groups.

This resource is available in English and is designed to complement practical activities in the school garden. It’s also a nice visual reminder that even small actions – like feeding worms – can make a difference for the environment. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Biology teacher (Chemistry teacher, Math teacher) Did You Know?
