'Digging Deeper into Vermicomposting' |
|
|---|---|
|
We will demonstrate how to make your own worm bin which will serve as a basis for investigations about ecosystems, life and nutrient cycles, and decomposition. The worms and castings from the worm bin can be used to engage students in a wide variety of investigations. We will share the Lesson Plan from NAITC titled, Vermicomposting. At the end of the Workshop, we will raffle off a worm bin for one lucky winner to use in their school! Mini-Workshop Session (activity should be easily demonstrated in 20 minutes and will be repeated 3 times on Friday) | |
