"Composting for kids" is an idea whose time has come for a number of reasons: It can teach young people about (1) the importance of recycling organic waste, (2) the science of healthy soil and the benefits of composting , (3) the hazards of excessive use of chemicals in agriculture and gardening, and (4) how they can help improve public and environmental health.
If the composting curriculum is enriched by involving the composting earthworm known variously as the red worm, red wriggler, red wiggler, manure worm, tiger worm, or brandling worm, the educational benefit grows enormously. The Red Wriggler Teaching Manual has been developed to capitalize on this opportunity.
There are a number of other publications for young people providing information on the red worm, but The Red Wriggler Teaching Manual is unique in style. It provides the instructor with valuable information about environmental conditions that have inspired interest in organic foods, and it includes educational activities in all the following areas:
- Science
- Mathematics
- Social Studies
- Language Arts
- Arts and Crafts
