Healthy soil must be continuously renewed by legions of tinny creatures who feed on decaying organic matter and then recycle it into the ground. In this program, students conduct a series of experiments that show how different arthropod species work together (and with fungus) to ensure that decaying material is quickly and efficiently broken down. Students then sample various soil cores from around their school and assess the health of their detritivorous community. Live specimens from around the world are brought in during each lesson to help highlight particular features and give students the opportunity for live animal interactions.

My son came home and couldn't stop talking all about his day at school today, all because of Village Edu. I've never seen him that happy getting off the bus and running to tell me all about the creatures he saw today!
Working with this organization has been an eye-opening experience. Their dedication to educating kids on the importance of bugs is so special and unique.
