Within the agriculture elective called "Agriculture Explorations" students are able to complete and learn from projects that interest them. One student is learning about ecosystems. This student finally had the chance to put live worms in his ecosystem thanks to Mrs. Wilson's worm bin! Come to find out this student was scared to death of worms. This student got over his fear by being pushed out of his comfort zone and now is able to watch the live creatures work in his live terrarium!
