Mrs. Clark's 5th graders had a blast this week discovering the amazing job earthworms do for our soil! 🌱🪱 During their "Ask a Worm" experiment, they observed real earthworms and created their own tests to find out if worms like dry or wet areas. The students learned how to design a fair experiment and explored some cool new questions about worm behavior. Science is so much fun when you get hands-on! 👩🔬🧑🔬
