Teaching Materials
Positives
- There is a self-check function, so students can get feedback and make corrections without the teacher needing to check their work.
- The use of pictures and their names make the game accessible even for ELLs and students with limited reading skills.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should know what composting is and its purpose.
Differentiation
- This game can supplement a lesson about composting, decomposition, and the carbon cycle. After talking about what kinds of things can be composted, students can use this game to demonstrate their understanding.
- After completing the game, teachers and students can discuss the things that did not belong in the bin and why they wouldn't belong. This is a great introduction to recycling and choosing recyclable or compostable products when buying things.
- Students can brainstorm a list of things that can go in the home compost bin, both using their own ideas and items from the game.
- Use this game to introduce a classroom compost bin project to help reduce waste and provide fertile soil for school gardens and flower beds.
