Teacher's Page
This Web Site contains a full Educational Unit that can be used by schools, or even by parents at home, to educate their children on the benefits of waste minimisation, while integrating the various activities into many different subjects.
The Unit contains lesson ideas and suggestions for use with primary school aged children. To take advantage of all the activities, you will need a Reln Worm Factory and a supply of Compost worms.
