Compost: The Rot Thing for Our Earth

Year Long project

A yearlong project is an idea that is new to me. After reading this article, I will seriously consider implementing projects such as the compost pile project. The way this project is designed can lead to numerous discussions and can lead down many educational paths. I can see how a science project such as this, can implement math, reading, and history into the lesson. It is student-driven and the teacher leads her students based on their observations and interests. Focusing on the student’s thoughts and ideas helps them to stay interested and motivated to learn. They become scientists who can engage, explore, explain, and appropriately be evaluated confidently. As a teacher, this would be my ultimate goal for each of my students.

Very informative

The Coral Reef Ecosystems SciPack does a really good job breaking down the process of what makes up the coral reefs and how they are maintained. The types of fish and plants are discussed, the environmental effects, and location all have an impact on the reefs. This scipack is recommended for anyone who wants to teach or brush up on their coral reef facts.
