Diversión con lombrices de tierra, como hacer garabatos y retorcerse

Students will dive into a hands-on, minds-on investigation to learn about the structures that earthworms have to allow them to survive! They will then design their own investigation to test whether earthworms prefer a damp or dry environment and test their hypothesis! They will use live earthworms found in nature or from the local bait store to conduct their experiment and have a discussion with a PowerPoint and videos led by the teacher. The beginning of the class will involve students learning about the structures of their worms through a guided investigation led by the teacher with time for questions and inquiry. After they learn the structures of their worms, they will design an investigation to test whether earthworms prefer damp or dry environments. Students will share the results of their mini-investigations live on camera with their classmates and discuss why the results occurred based on what they learned in the earlier discussion. The teacher will ask guiding questions and offer insight to the students as they conduct their experiments and share their results.
