Students began assembling our compost bins this week. They will build a wooden chest to house buckets to collect food scraps as well as a wooden worm bin for composting. Before building, we needed to measure the width of the buckets to ensure the storage unit provided enough space. We then determined the size of the pieces needed for the base and the walls. From here, other students measured the pieces and cut them with the chop saw. This project provides students with an authentic opportunity to apply their estimating and measurement skills. Huge thanks to Tom Hohmann, Merlin's dad, for helping us gather materials and build the bin!
