All of the students at school this fall have participated in science classes where they are learning about earthworms.  We have read worm books, discussed and observed worm body parts, tested whether worms are sensitive to light and dark, and whether they prefer moist or dry environments.  The younger children are creating a diorama of the worm’s habitat and designing graphic posters which share what what they have learned about worms. Although all students are not comfortable touching the worms, we’ve seen quite a few students make great observations about this subterranean creature.
