Wonderful Worms

When we arrived at school on this rainy morning, the Wonder of the Week became, "Why are all those worms on the sidewalk?!?"
We knew we had a morning research project!  We wondered and came up with hypotheses for why we thought the worms came up on the sidewalk.
We read the book What Is a Scientist?

We learned that scientists do things like look for answers to questions, measure, count carefully, look closely, and think logically.  Then we headed outside with our Think Books, magnifying glasses, rulers, and pencils to look more closely at these worms.

We measured...
We measured...or tried to...the wiggly worms wouldn't keep still!

We observed...
...and we wrote!
Here is a video of our Wonderful Worm Explorations.



Why do you think the worms come up on the sidewalk after it rains?
