Description: Searching for the perfect way to integrate science and reading by learning about earthworms? If you are studying decomposers, soil, recycling, Earth Day, gardening, or the environment, you will love this informational booklet about worm observations. It includes science vocabulary, a gummy worm dessert, a sequencing activity, and more. Kids will sequence the life cycle of an earthworm, answer comprehension questions, construct an earthworm hat, and receive an official wormologist award certificate. Need activities for early finishers? You get choice boards with sixteen different engaging activities. Need activities for struggling learners? The Bingo game will make vocabulary fun, especially if you throw in a few gummy worms for the winners. This live earthworm project is a favorite with my students and their families, and it will be a favorite with yours too. Every year when we study decomposers, kids start wiggling in their seats when they realize we are going to build a worm farm. It seems like no time till they are naming and talking to their new little wriggling worms. Yours will be too. These pages, combined with your classroom curriculum, will have your little wormologists begging to learn more. The activities are versatile enough to incorporate into lots of units.
