Composting
Composting as a science project
Designing successful composting systems requires an understanding of certain biological, chemical, and physical processes such as the movement of air, uptake of carbon and nitrogen, and heat production and transfer. Students can be a part of the process of obtaining scientific information about composting, whether their results are applied in their own home, school, or by industry. At the same time, students engage in hands‐on, minds‐on composting activities with an opportunity to improve their understanding of many scientific processes and disciplines.
