The Work of a Worm
by Melody Vanderveen
This lesson provides the students an opportunity to learn hands-on. They work as a worm biologist or Annelidologist, observing how the external features of the worm, such as its segmented body and head, help it move and interact with its environment. Students will create and maintain a habitat, observe the behavior and adaptations that the worms have. And investigate the process of decomposition.
This is first in a 2-part unit and is followed by The Work of a Worm, Biodesign Solutions.
