Activity #74: Observing Worms


Today students observed red wiggler worms. They first wrote a description of the worm's size, shape, color, texture, and body style. They then recorded how the worm responded to touch and how the worm moves. The next step was to predict what type of habitat the worm would live in its natural environment. This was one of the first steps in understanding how ecologist study organisms and their environment.
