Presentation of Findings

Second graders discuss the previously created worm compost and the importance of living creatures to the Environment.  In this worm lesson, 2nd graders observe worms and record their sensitivity to light. Students design a petri...

In this soil worksheet, students complete 2 pages about the importance of soil in plant growth. Students read about red worms and answer 2 questions about composting. Students fill out a chart with their observations of plants planted in...

Second graders discuss worm composting. In this decomposition instructional activity, 2nd graders look at the anatomy of the worm and how it eats food. They have their own worm bin and review what foods can and can not be given to the...

Students write an essay to describe the contents of a compost bin.  In this composting lesson, students create a compost bin. Students examine soil for its contents and explains in an essay the impact of the soil on the environment.

Students explore vermicomposting, the species of worms needed and the proper climate for it.  In this composting lesson students make their own worm compost bin.

Third graders explore agriculture by viewing a PowerPoint presentation in class. In this animal relationship lesson, 3rd graders identify the types of farm animals humans feed on and their dependency on such small insects like worms....

Second graders conduct research on plant parts. They listen to the book "Jack and the Beanstalk," explore various websites and read about plant parts, and create a movie using Kid Pix computer software.

Students construct a defined plot on school grounds and observed patterns in plant life. They count trees, shrubs, cacti and record on a data sheet. They compare data and generate a plant diversity overlook for their school.

Students learn about the worm life cycle and decomposition of life by creating small-scale worm ecosystems. Research groups share scientific data with groups at other schools using web-based communication tools.
