(March – October)

Pupils explore how minibeasts living in a compost bin help to recycle the nutrients in green waste, making compost to help more plants grow. They plant a seed in a reused pot and investigate fresh compost teeming with minibeasts.

Covid adaptations: This workshop is delivered outdoors. Whole-class input is followed by a carousel of activities with smaller groups.
