Angela’s Big Idea:

Perform an in-depth exploration of compost mechanics and microbiomes, comparing anaerobic and aerobic composting environments. Students will collect data on the following variables: Number and diversity of microbes, pH levels, temperature, CO2 and CH4 production.

Interesting Facts:

Angela’s daughters tease her for the inordinate amount of time she spent when visiting the Musée Curie (Marie Curie Museum) in Paris.
