STEM Scouts: Wiggly Worms

  • Observe live earthworms up close and practice careful, respectful handling
  • Ask questions, make predictions, and test ideas using simple variables
  • Explore how worms respond to light, moisture, and different textures
  • Record observations and share findings with their group
  • Identify what makes a healthy, comfortable habitat and why it matters
