Soil and Composting Unit Comes to a Close!

We have just finished up a unit on soil and composting. The Gators conducted soil investigations, science experiments, and did a week's worth of centers on worm composting. Currently, we have 1,000 red wiggler worms in our classroom that are composting our food scraps from lunch. We are making a difference by reducing our daily food waste and making natural fertilizer! This helps us to understand the relationship between soil and the decomposition process. Above is a picture of the paper mache worm models we made. Check out Vermi the Worm in the "Game Zone!" page to see what goes on inside our Worm Farm!
