Rot! It’s a hugely important “R” word in the world of sustainability. Students buried many different materials in three different bins: air, soil without worms, and soil with worms, to discover which items would biodegrade, and how quickly. Ask your child what happened to glitter-covered tee shirts and two different kinds of packing peanuts. As the third grade Sustainability Ambassadors, students are also building a chair from ecobricks, which also just happens to be the best way to teach the concept of density that I have ever discovered!
