The science project was to see what happens with decomposition. Each student buried something to see if it will decompose. Some of the things we buried were: a toilet paper roll, part of a backpack, plastic wrappers, fabric scraps, food waste and a drawing.
Each student was given a plot in one of our beds and they buried their item. The 5th graders documented where everything was buried and now we wait. We will check on our decomposing items in the spring.
We took the rest of the time to clean out a couple of beds in the second grade gardens.
These guys were breaking down a huge sunflower to put in the compost.
All hands on deck to get rid of the ever bothersome weeds.
We left it much cleaner than we found it.
