by Terri Serena
The objective of this lesson is to introduce students to vermicomposting by explaining what it is and getting our bins set up. Students learn about recycling, share a read aloud, watch a video and construct Vermicomposting bins. This lesson contains excellent resources and is a great way to get students involved in real world problem solving.
