Lucca and Oli put on garden gloves so they can investigate the worm farm. One glove has an L on for the left hand and one has R for the right hand. Its quite tricky to put gloves on, but it is worth it! Exploring the worm farm is fun and its important not to touch the worms with our skin because we can hurt their very delicate skin. They breathe through their skin and it must stay moist. Anna points out the worm eggs and asks, “I wonder how we can find out what a worm looks like when it comes out of the egg?”
Lucca immediately suggests, “We could put them in a container” So that’s what they do. Lucca makes a cover for the container so it starts cool and dark for the eggs. Then Lucca asks “How long will it be before the worms come out of the egg?” So he and Anna look it up and find out it will take two to three weeks.
Lucca and Oli are very interested in the worm farm and we can continue to extend this. They are curious about the world around them and are confident to ask questions and to come up with hypotheses about how to find out more.
Anna, 3/5/11
