Dirt: The Movie --- Reflection


Dirt: The Movie --- Reflection

 
Last week 7th grade watched a movie called: "Dirt". It talked about how dirt is important what we can do to ‘help’ dirt. In the movie there were some important people talking, such as: Nobel Prize winners, experts, scientists and others.
What I learnt from it is that dirt is mainly part of the food chain and that even though it has biotic things in it and helps living things, it is abiotic. (biotic= living; abiotic= non-living). An important part that the movie talked about was pesticides; when farmes put pesticides, it doesn’t get ‘eaten’by plant but I will then flow in the rivers à seas à oceans. Killing everything and polluting the waters. In dirt there are many micro-organisms which make and keep the soil clean and fertile. A way to help soil and dirt is to compost. Dirt is also important because eco-houses can be made from it, it keeps warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
