Description

Class Experience

  Earthworms can be small, and we may forget about them, but they are important to soil. In this 2 day class, the kids will be introduced to ecology,  the study of the  relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings, by learning about earthworms and soil.

Day 1:  The kids will learn about the natural history of earthworms such as their lifecycle.
  We will watch a video of earthworms so the kids can make observations about the worms.

1 copy of the facts about worms...
