Compost lab

The kids all brought a variety of items to see if they would compost.  So we put them all in jars wit dirt and some water and now we wait.  It will be a stinky reveal!

Composting lab

Composting lab!! 

(This is in English so parents can help kids get ready!)

What you need to bring from home:

• Large clear glass jar with a lid (pickle jar, canning jar, etc.) 
• One item you think will compost (must fit in the jar) 
• One item you think will not compost (must fit in the jar) 
• One item you aren't sure will compost (must fit in the jar) 

It will be interesting to see the results!!


More information:

• See about Beaumont's Keep It Green program here
• See the lab from previous years here. We will modify by using clear jars. 

Here are some videos to get us ready!

Keep it Green Beaumont!

I have been doing some research about what kind of green initiatives and waste management our town has and I am VERY impressed.  

I had the kids do a garbage sorting activity including where to sort:

• compost
• recycle
• bottle depot recycle
• garbage
• garbage dump (large items, hazardous waste and e-cycling technology)

The town also offers a great deal of information and support.

• Environmental Services (energy conservation, idle-free, water conservation, etc
• Environmental Master Plan (pdf)
• Kids version of the EMP (pdf)
• Curbside collection program (details about sorting garbage)
• Curbside collection program brochure (pdf)

Planting from your compost

For our grade 7 science unit on plants we wanted to see which plants would re-grow and even produce food from our kitchen scraps.  Keep posted for an update on the growth

Compost

Today we started our compost lab in grade 7 (don't worry grade 8s next week is FULL of lab time!).  We are trying to see what substances are decomposable or not.  The lab will last two weeks and a report will be due after.  The kids all brought some great things to test!

Maybe we need a compost here at school?  Worms??  Has anyone ever done this?
