Compost Challenge
I was browsing the web, looking for garden related content, and came across this Compost Challenge. This is a really nice unit for students in grades 6 to 8, and covers a science base.
My own thought is that "compost happens", even if we don't help it along. This unit, however, will help your child or class discover exactly what composting is, the microorganisms involved in the process, and how we can reduce the amount of waste going to landfills by using composting techniques.
While the complete project would take more time that indicated on the lesson guide, it doesn't have to be done every single day. In other words, the "Day 1" and "Day 2", etc. can be accomplished over a longer period of time. Those are just days when certain parts of the project are done.
The site offers a printable version so that the lesson and the worksheets are available to you.
