Ok here’s what you need.

1. 2 liter bottle
2. Lettuce leaf
3. Apple slice
4. Any other compost-able food product
5. A piece of Styrofoam
6. Garden soil.

To create our compost viewer you will first need to cut off the top of the 2 liter bottle and poke holes into the bottom of it. Place your compost items into the bottle where they can be viewed from the side of the container. Slowly add your dirt until the container is about half full and all of your items are in view from the outside of the bottle. Set the bottle on a pie plate. Spray soil with water as needed to keep it moist.

Mark a calendar the day you set up your project. Check to see how many days before your food items begin to show change. Did the Styrofoam change? Discuss the effects that items like the Styrofoam have on our environment
