Thursday November 1st

I think it is kind of funny we are looking at black worms on Halloween.

This lesson focuses on 2 main goals:
1. What are the physical characteristics of black worm?
2. Compare and contrast the characteristics of the black worm to Earthworm.

In class the students worked on the 3.1 Worksheet sketching the worm and answering questions around it movement and ability to regenerate.  There was also a section asking them to use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the two types of worms.

The readings for this Lesson can be found here- Lesson #3 Readings

Here are two great sites to get information on both organisms:
Black Worm (Lumbriculus variegatus)
Common Earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris).
