Ethan Shelden – Vermicomposting
A student worksheet packet on vermicomposting (worm composting) tied to a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE). Students watch a video about Ethan Shelden’s vermicomposting SAE and answer questions, label a worm’s digestive tract and learn how worms make compost (“black gold”), and plan the steps and materials to build their own three-bucket worm composting bin.
