This week in Science, we
learned what living things do, need and are and completing
a living/nonliving sort together during a whole group lesson.
Once the students had grasped the concepts of living and nonliving we put their
new knowledge to the test with a very exciting science investigation... Gummy
worms versus Earth worms!
I had students use a recording sheet as we set out to prove our hypothesis that earthworms are living and gummy worms are nonliving. We described how each type of worm looks and feels. We measured and compared both worms. They had a blast! While I had a hard time actually touching the worms, the kids were all about it!
We ended out learning on living and nonliving by making edible dirt with worms!!
