Greetings, Could someone please share an activity about earthworms and soil. I seem to have caught creative's block. The students' grade level is Kindergarten.

Hi Jaqueline, How about setting up a tank/container with some soil and earthworms. If you wrap the container with black construction paper, the worms will burrow to the edges and your students will see evidence of the worm activity. Good luck!

This is such a cool idea!  I like the idea of letting the sutdents actually observe what happens to the worms when the black construction paper is put on the tank.  Thanks for sharing!

This is a really cool way for students to observe science in the real world. I am a very visual learner, so physically watching the worms do this would be very interesting as a kid!
