Resources for Educators The following information is provided for teachers. Vermicomposting is a great project for the classroom. Kids learn about the natural cycle and where soil comes from as well as how they can reduce their contribution to the waste stream. I have reviewed some of the information available and selected a few that I think look good. Rodale Institute's Natural World Series
