Wiggly Worm Composting

Help me give my students Earth Day and composting resources. Our class will be having a worm composting bin next year and we'd love to have books to support our lessons.

My Project

Students can use a variety of resources to learn about and implement worm composting in their classrooms. One helpful resource is in-class books, where they can find articles and step-by-step guides on how to start and maintain a worm composting system. Books will also provide detailed information on the science behind composting and how to get the most out of their compost.

Additionally, our class will set up workshops or classes on worm composting, where students can learn and teach other students around our school about the importance of composting.

Finally, students will also work with and create a presentation along with our school's Green Team to offer the community hands-on experience with worm composting. With these resources, students can become expert composters and make a positive impact on the environment.

Ms. Eves will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 10.
