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 planning and set-up stage for an experiment to see which type of gardening is the most sustainable and produces the best results. You will need to either choose or have students help
Students will begin the year working with a hydroponics system to observe plant growth. To start the students will be given a seedling and determine what the plant is as it goes through the life cycle
2nd grade students will work collaboratively to describe, illustrate, and communicate their understanding of the states of matter involving liquids, solids, and gases. The lesson includes extension
