I like that they included a caution for at the end of the Compost Bin task for students who might have mold or bacteria allergies. Including real world contexts in tasks allows for students to be able to make personal connections with the task and for them to be able to better understand the concept. Minus one star because I noticed a couple of spelling/grammatical errors throughout the article.
