Worms on tour
On Monday, January 18th, my husband, Chet and I took the worms and the worm bin on a tour to both Dillingham schools. We showed the worms and explained how they are used to recycle nutrients into soil and how they can be used to recycle newspaper.
The teachers were very grateful for some stimulating hands-on life sciences demonstration, and the kids asked a lot of questions. One of the teachers told me that her students were talking about it for the rest of the day! We will be working with the high science class to install and help to troubleshoot their own worm bin, thanks to the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
We at the University are very excited about this outreach opportunity and hope to work directly with the teachers and students to encourage more learning opportunities in the future.
