R2V Kick Off Party

The Rhodes 2 Vermicycling kick off party was coordinated on the schools side by Biology teacher Kim Swaggard. Here she is up on the mic getting the kids amped about the games of the day, as well as the upcoming worm project!



In the photo below you see students and the principal bobbing for worms. The worm dirt is chocolate pudding, and the worms are gummi worms. The person that pulled out the most gummi worms won 25$ gift card for the movies!


In this photothe unassembled bins have been distributed throughout the room. Students are assembling the simple ventilation system that help improve airflow in the bins. These vents are currently made out of pvc pipe. In the future we intend to phase that plastic out and replace the systems with abs or another more eco_preferrable material.






Why is the word 'sustainability' up on the board? How does that apply to this project?


We all played worm jeopardy and did not even know that we were learning more about worms and the project thru the game !!!
