Take a walk through the forest as the leaves change color and fall from the trees, making way for a new ecosystem cycle to cycle through. An inquiry-based lesson plan examines how the process of decomposition eliminates tons of biomass from the forest floor, and how the autumn season paves the way for a fruitful spring.

Classroom Considerations
- References a videotape to accompany the lesson plan, but any online video about decomposition during autumn (like this one) would be a good substitute
