Compost Assignment due in 2 weeks

May 12th, 2012 | Posted by ggruft in Science: Geri - (Comments Off)

Thank you for the great outdoor class on Friday!  I hope you are all enjoying some sunshine.

Composting is coming to Livingstone soon and this assignment will help you to be a school expert.

With 14 days to complete this assignment I am expecting completion by the due date.  The information is easily available.  For example, you might try http://www.metrovancouver.org/services/solidwaste/Residents/composting/Pages/default.aspx  and find out most of what you need to know.

To meet the requirements of the assignment, please be sure to include the information below from your class handout.

-Mrs. Macdonald

COPY OF HANDOUT

Explain how composting works.  Research the information you need by either using the internet, asking a gardener you know or reading a book.

This is an important third term assignment worth 25 marks.

INCLUDE:

-         A carefully labelled diagram showing what is in a compost ecosystem

-         8 or more point form notes on the processes involved (what takes places in a compost, are there living things in there, what are they doing?)

-         List 10 things that are good to put in a compost.

-         List 10 things that cannot go in a compost.

-         Answer the question:  Do you think you will participate in composting when Livingstone starts to collect compostable materials?  Why or why not?
