Differentiation

This resource would work equally well in science classes learning about composting or language arts classes that are reading non-fiction texts on the subject of composting.
This word search would make an excellent component in an activity set about composting. Other great resources to include are A Peek into Composting, Scraps into Soil, Worm Bin: 100 Day Timelapse, and Crossword on Composting.
Younger students would benefit from completing this activity together, while older students may enjoy turning it into a race and completing it independently.
As an extension, have students create their own crossword puzzles with additional composting vocabulary for their classmates to solve.
