It’s gardening season! The spring is a wonderful time to get out in nature with our children and dig in the dirt. One fantastic way to do this is by making a worm farm! Why worms? Worms help to increase the amount of air and water that gets into the soil by aerating it when they dig their tunnels. In this class, students will watch hands-on demonstrations as we learn about worms together and how to create simple worm farms at home. The wiggly, squirmy, and sort of gross worms that I use will have equals squeals and fun for kids.
Learning Goals
Students will gain an understanding of why worms are so great for the garden and earth.
Other Details
