Get ready to uncover the wonders beneath our feet as we explore soil, worms, and compost and learn the indispensable role worms play in enhancing our soil’s health. Join Science World facilitators with our mobile vermicomposter, Holly’s Composter! During this workshop, dirt detectives will roll up their sleeves and dive into the dirt to see the intricate anatomy of these underground heroes and understand how these wrigglers turn food scraps into nourishing compost. But our investigation doesn’t stop there! Participants will then create their own mini mobile worm composters to take home and continue vermicomposting at home. With hands-on activities and fascinating discoveries awaiting, prepare to be captivated by the magic of soil, worms, and compost, and to unleash your inner Dirt Detective in the process.
Science World’s fantastic On The Road program brings fun, high-energy live demonstrations and activities to communities all around the province that pique science curiosity, boost science literacy and inspire future science and technology leaders.
