Did you know that worms have 5 hearts, no eyes,
and no teeth? We learned all about worms
and then got up close and personal to these wiggly insects. Check out our
projects and in-school field trip below.
LEARNING ABOUT
We started out learning about worms by
reading the book Diary of a Worm by Doreen . Even though it is a fiction story (and very
funny) there are many facts to learn about worms. Then we visited a few websites to learn more
about the anatomy and diet of worms.
Here are the websites we visited:

worm without hurting one!

anatomy, diet, families, and fun facts.
All about worms
from the “Yuckiest site on the Internet”
WORM FACT WIGGLERS
We took facts that we learned about
worms and wrote them on a worm template.
We colored in the worms, cut them out, and hung them from the clothesline
in our classroom.

DIRT DESSERT
The 4th graders worked really hard to
learn all they could about worms so they were given a little treat from Mrs.
Kanas and Mrs. Pagano our classroom volunteer.
We made dirt dessert! We used
chocolate pudding to represent humus, a fancy word for the moist compost that
worms produce. The Oreo cookies
represented organic materials that are eaten by worms and transformed into
compost. We added worms to our dessert…gummy
worms of course! What a yummy way to end
a day of learning about worms!
