Worm Day in May!

Finding Worms
After reading about earth worms, watching videos, having class discussions on how to care for earth worms, we went on a worm hunt outside after a very rainy couple of days in May.

Digging for Worms

We put our earth worms in a bin of soil from outside and then we each guessed how many worms we thought our class had collected.

We had a variety of earth worm activities for our children to explore during our worm day. We made our own playdough in the class the day before so the children could mold their own worms from it.

Are earth worms attracted to water or dirt? At the Science & Discovery table.

Gummy worm science experiment. Each child made a prediction about what they thought would happen to the gummy worm after it sat in a cup of water over the weekend.

On Monday we took our cups down and observed and made conclusions about our gummy worm science experiment. They used their five senses to make their observations.
Overall, worm day was a success!
