Brilliant resource
Arrived with guide and all thermometers. Did have a crack in top corner but doesn’t impact use. Kids love it

SUPER EXCITED!!!!
Super excited about doing this in my 7th grade science class. We have a large outdoor compost bin that we check on, but it will be nice to have one in class that we can compare and actually see the decomposition process throughout all stages, EVERYDAY. I absolutely love the fact that it comes with thermometers (mercury free), so that we can record data about how thermal energy is released from the breaking down of the biomass. I would really love to add worms, but I don't think that this would be the best home for them, too bad. I hope it works well, because it has excellent teaching potential.

Poor quality
Thermometers we're broken.

Great science project item
I got this for my son's science fair project. The quality is great and he really likes the thermometers. This works for all ages and is well worth the price.

Buy 2 and Compare - Worms and No Worms Decomposition
This is cool. The kids have really gotten into watching it. I bought two, composted the same stuff in each, but put worms in each cell of the second one. It really showed how the worms help speed up the composting process. It does NOT say it is intended for worms, but with a little care, mine have been doing just fine. I did put a brown paper bag over the one with the worms as they like the dark and then positioned my compost in front of the little circle spots so now the kids just lift the bag and there are always worms to view helping to compost away.My one suggestion, and why I only gave it 4 stars, is that it comes in 3 pieces, the brown bottom, the clear hard plastic container for composting, and the green top. They are well made, but NOT attached. Good for the top, bad for the bottom, because if you go to lift it, it lifts out of the brown base. This is fine if you never move it, but at my school it does get moved a lot. Maybe I should cement them together.Anyway, great product, great price, be patient and have fun with it!
