Composting, Grade 5 (STEM Road Map Curriculum Series)

Composting is an innovative and engaging way for fifth-grade students to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts while addressing real-world environmental issues.

This comprehensive module provides a hands-on approach to learning about composting systems, including the engineering design process, interdependent relationships in ecosystems, and scaled models of compost systems.

By creating prototypes of compost bins and developing a publicity campaign for school-wide composting, students will gain a deep understanding of the science behind composting and how it can positively impact their community.

With its interdisciplinary approach and focus on real-world applications, this module is an ideal tool for teachers looking to infuse STEM learning into their classrooms while fostering critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in their students.
