Worm Ranching
schmied/reid©2010

Welcome to Wormland! The Worm Ranching Experiment is a long term experiment designed to see which type of food that earthworms prefer. However, it blends in many other skills, Lab safety, following directions, metric measurement, working together as team members, learning experimental technique, and identifying variables.

The actual experiment is conducted over time. You team needs to be reliable, feed the worms often, and communicate together. Worm Ranch containers are created in a special silent teamwork exercise. The initial and final sorting and massing of the worms is an exciting event. Afterwards each classmember develops a floating bar graph which shows the growth (positive) or shrinkage (negative) over time with each type of food. Finally you will analyze the results to see who's food was the best.
