Kid's Crafts - Worm Project
EAT DIRT, YOU WORM! Worm Project Worms don’t just push their way through the soil, they eat their way through. In a single day an earthworm gobbles up more than its own weight in dirt, sand, bits of leaves and grass, and almost anything else that happens to be in its way as it burrows from one place to another. What you need * A quart-sized glass jar
* Sand
* Dark garden soil
* A trowel
* Worms
* Rotted leaves/compost
* A spray bottle of water
* Black construction paper big enough to wrap around the jar
* Cellophane tape
* Scissors
* Squeeze-on plastic fabric paints What to do * Place a layer of sand around 1-1/2 inches deep in the jar.
* Place a layer of soil around the same depth on top of the sand.
* Continue alternating layers of sand and soil, smoothing each layer as you go.
* Add 3 or 4 earthworms to the top layer of soil.
* Cover the top layer with a layer of rotted leaves or compost.
* Spray the compost or leaves lightly with water.
* Cut black paper to fit around the jar.
* Put a strip of tape down one short edge of the paper, about an inch from the end.
* Decorate the paper with squeeze-on plastic paint.
* Wrap the paper around the jar end. Make a tab of tape that is attached to the paper on the end that does not have the strip of tape. When the paper is wrapped, you can stick and unstick the tape tab to the shiny cellophane tape strip.
* Untape the tab after a few days and remove the paper to see what the worms have done to the layers of sand and soil. Make a drawing of their tunnels every few days to record their actions. Finished Worm Project |
