Vermacomposting Project
For this project we learned how to vermacompost. We studied worms. We studied composting. We even bought and maintained a vermacomposting bin. This was a long project, it lasted all semester. We worked in groups of four and feed and kept good care of the worms and in return they gave us fertilizer. At the end of this project we went to other high schools to to educate students on vermacomposting. This project really demanded collaboration because we did this project not in small groups but as a whole biology class. We had to actually communicate and form plans and schedules as an entire class and have the collaboration skills to follow those plans and schedules and to make adjustments in them to accommodate absences and other inconveniences. During the cores of this project I am sure that the entire class greatly improved their collaboration skills.
How To Video Project
For this project we had to create a video demonstrating how make a common house hold item that we would normally buy at the store. My group decided to make scented candles. This was a bit of a challenge because non of us knew how to make them. After some research we found that it was not that hard to make them so we went ahed and made a simple how to video on candle making. A link to the video is right bellow this.
