At Chestnut Ridge we try to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and one way we do this is by composting our food waste. Students will visit our compost bins, get an up-close look at who’s at work in there, and build their own compost pile. They'll learn what goes in a compost bin (and what doesn't), the role of temperature in composting, and how compost helps gardens, plants, and the planet. Take home instructions for how to start your own compost at home or school. (NCSCOS Science Standards: K-Goal 1; 1^st-Goal 1, 3^rd-Goal 2; 5^th-Goal 1; 6^th-Goal 4.01-4.02)
