We've got Worms!!!


No no, don't call the doctor, we are studying dirt and soil in science! Students have been learning about the importance of worms on the Earth. As good scientists practice observing, we have been observing a worms behavior in the habitat we built in class. So far, we have studied their appearance, seen them create burrows in the dirt, nest under the leaves and dig far into the soil. We have used our Science Notebook to record our hypothesis and findings.

Today in class we visited an amazing worm website that taught us more about the worm. Did you know that worms have 5 hearts? Who knew they were so loving! We learned new science vocabulary words and heard an interview from a worm himself! Pretty neat! Take a peek..... Worm Website

Here is another great informative site .. Worm Facts From a Worm

Maybe next time it rains go out searching for this amazing creature and ask your child some facts they have learned. :)
