Worm terrarium
Worm terrariums are fascinating projects that combine education and environmental care. These mini ecosystems allow for the cultivation of earthworms and the observation of their important role as natural decomposers. Building a worm terrarium is a simple and educational endeavor.
To begin, you'll need a transparent glass container with a lid. Add a layer of fertile, slightly moist soil. Then, introduce the earthworms along with some organic waste, such as fruit and vegetable scraps, which will serve as their food.
Observe how the worms decompose the waste and produce humus, a valuable natural fertilizer. Ensure that the terrarium remains moist and avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
Worm terrariums are a fun and educational way to learn about the significance of decomposition and the recycling of organic waste. They provide an opportunity to appreciate the work of these small organisms and their contribution to maintaining environmental balance.
Look here the one IES POETA DÍAZ CASTRO has done:
This project was the reason for inviting other schools in the area. You can see how Óscar, from IES POETA DÍAZ CASTRO, made a prototype for other children to make their terrariums and send us their photo.
