For Week 3’s SSDB project, the children learned about composting. They read books about composting and observed how different types of compost are made. The children especially enjoyed a time-lapse of different materials composting. Hence, they suggested to the teacher if they can conduct the same experiment. The teacher guided them to create 3 different types of compost – paper, cardboard, and food scraps (fruits and vegetables). The children will observe how the materials decompose over the next few weeks and conclude which materials decompose the fastest. They ended the week by documenting what they have learned to bring home and share with their respective family members.
