Times are tough for School Teachers these days. Most schools operate on a shoestring budget, and Teachers often fill the gaps with their own funds for their students.

If you are a Teacher wishing to start a Worm Project, but don’t have the funds to do so,  put your Wish List Here:  http://www.TheWormDude.com/forums/

Supporters can sponsor a teacher, buying worms, bins, etc.

Supporters will be recognized on the forum as a way of THANKS for helping out. Supporters will also be allowed to leave a  love note such as:

To our Grandson Johnny J, We LOVE you – Love, Grandma Jean and Grandpa Joe

To help support the cause, http://WWW.TheWormDude.Com will refund 10% of each donation back to the supporter, or contribute that 10% to the Teacher to help with supplies, making your donation go even farther.

*10% contribution applies to product costs, not shipping costs.

As promised, here are some Pic’s of Paul’s 9th Grade Science Experiment.

The papers were “Rescued” from Geometry Class (Who says you’ll never have use for Geometry)

The worms were sorted and weighed based on the various products in the bedding.

Experiment Dates: September 17-November 14
One pound of worms was divided 5 ways:
Here was Paul’s findings based on worm weight per container at the end of the experiment:

Worm Weight in each container:
Egg: -25.8 grams
Dog Hair +49.9 grams
Coffee Grds -46.5 grams
Paper -32.5 grams
Water -2.5 grams

I’ve been assured that the cat was not composted…she’s just interested in the project.

Seriously, it’s really interesting to see so much attention devoted to worms and their benefits by today’s youth. As worms and their by products become mainstream, the rest of the planet is going to learn what we already know.

Thanks to Paul for the Pics and the results.
