Worm World: Bedding - A Life Science Project for Wormologists
In this lesson, students conduct an experiment that answers the following driving question: Which type of bedding do red wigglers like better- coconut husk or shredded cardboard?
This lesson allows students to conduct a research experiment, collect, record, analyze, and share their data.
This lesson would be great as a focus during any life science unit and could easily be turned into a class project for gardening engagements.

This is the final lesson in a set of 4 (total) lessons. This is when students will be reviewing the information from planting and the first observation day. Students will begin logging and comparing
This lesson is the first of two about vermicomposting. It explains what vermicomposting is and how to start a worm bin. The second lesson will discuss harvesting compost and moving worms to a garden
By exploring seeds and the effects of different planting patterns/depths on seed germination, students will conduct exploration of varying seed depths in soil and keep track of growth and traits over
