Worms

Students in grade 2 spent 6 weeks observing worms and their behavior. First we predicted whether worms prefer light or dark, prefer moist or dry areas, and how they react to touch and then we set up experiments each week and watched them. We witnessed within minutes that worms like dark and moist surroundings.

Together with the youngest students we created a mural showing their preferred habitat and their predators.


Finally we each created a graphic poster showing what we learned about worms in words and pictures. We learned how worms help the earth,we learned about their predators, what they eat and much more.
