****** 
This video explains how this CLIL Project-Pack came to be; inspired by the work and  research of real University-level chemists, biologists and engineers who have found a way to accelerate composting, from what normally takes weeks and months, to only 8 hours!   That alone is unusual.  
However, everything else about this CLIL Project-Pack is unusual; 
- no texts, just tasks; 
- pen + pencils + smartphones;
- on-the-page tasks continue in the cloud;
- graphing, tabulating, drawing, collecting data, plus the usual, writing, reading, speaking, listening, watching videos, 
- academic writing, scientific reporting (CALP) but also writing to a young cousin (BICS) 
- etc.  
Watch the video and find out more.
