As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

COMPOST EXPERT


 
To learn more about what is best for our compost, we invited compost expert Maya to share with us her knowledge and experience. It is important for students to learn to listen to a presentation for a variety of purposes. Here students actively participated in discussion about the compost and appropriate things to add to it. Using our new information about appropriate compost materials, students helped complete a graph listing what is good and bad. Make sure to look at it with your student and have them show you what they learned!

Students discovered using their senses more about vegetables, fruits and other vegetation that is used to make soil healthy. Students explored the vegetables with their sense of observation, taste, smell and touch!
Being a good scientist requires a lot of observation. Students love checking the compost bin everyday to see what changes have occurred. We remove the "soil" to see the new dirt and check our helping worms! This investigation is really a lot of fun!
