Farmer Brown is working on his compost pile for his vanilla bean crops. The bacteria in the compost pile DECOMPOSES the food scraps and releases the stored carbon and nutrients.
-
Farmer Brown uses the compost to add to the soil of his crops. The vanilla bean plants use PHOTOSYNTHESIS to capture carbon from the atmosphere to make glucose and overtime they sprout.
-
After a period of time the vanilla bean plants are ready to be sold. Farmer Brown uses CELLULAR RESPIRATION, to call crop buyers at selling locations to buy his crops.
-
That day the crop buyers arrive at their factory. They then give the vanilla bean pants to the employees so they can get started on the ice cream. The workers turn on the ice cream machines. The machines require FOSSIL FUELS to operate.
-
The crop buyers arrive a couple days later to purchase the crops from Farmer Brown. They agree on a price and the crop buyers set off to their factory to turn the vanilla bean plants into ice cream.
-
Through the process of COMBUSTION the ice cream machines burn the coal to power on. The ice cream machines are then able to dissect the vanilla bean from the plant to use for certain ingredients in the ice cream.
-
That night after dinner Jacarra's family CONSUME the ice cream and all of it's carbon.
-
After about a week, the vanilla bean ice cream is ready to be shipped off. They factory employees pack it up and send it to various stores in the U.S. At one particular store, Jacarra's mother buys a tub of this ice cream.
