Webelos Naturalist

Workin' with WORMS!It's almost St. Patty's Day so in honor of that we used some green fishing worms for this worm farm. (Wal-mart about $4.00)



I also created this how to flyer and it's going to be included in the next Pow Wow book, Yea!
A little bit o' sand...A little bit o' dirt...A little bit o' Green worm river dance.... A you have it,

A Green worm home for a green worm!

Last bit not least, putting on the roof!

We had a fun time! We cover most of the bottle because worms like it dark. They go to the "dark side" and stay there churning up the soil and eating the old decaying bits of grass. You can flip up the green felt to see them move.
The boys seem to like it!
I can't imagine why... boys and worms were made for each other!

I love worms. My biology teacher frequently said that we should always be grateful to the worm for being the first animal to evolve a one way digestive tract- prior to them everybody had to excrete from the same opening that they ate from. So I guess it's thanks to them that we don't poop out our mouths. Mmmmmm.
