Follow Up: Paul F. (9th Grade Science Project)
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.
