One “Rot” Thing - A Bucket Composting Lesson
by Jenny Selayro
This is the part one of the composting lesson that is aligned to the ELA standards of narrative reading and writing. In this lesson, students build their experiences by preparing the bucket composters, collecting and classifying "green" materials from their kitchen for a certain period, asking questions, presenting their data in table and graph, using technology to created their outputs and working with a group. Students will have a first hand experience of witnessing the cycle of life through the process of decomposition. They will also learn how to pay close attention to every detail of the expereince.
