Worm Ranching 101 (K-5th Grade)

Composition and Decomposition – Diane Rhoades will share the deep down and science fiction truth about worms!

Do you know why worms are all over the sidewalk after a heavy rain? Want to know how to see if they are male or female? Do you know how many hearts each worm has? Who would be stronger if you and a worm were the same size? 

Worms feast on manure, leaves, and household scraps and transform it into rich and fragrant soil! Nature takes decades to decompose what worms poop out daily. Don’t wait for decay to happen! Befriend the worms and grow beautiful soil together; soil that is alive with vitality. Grow your own vitamins and minerals! Have fun with the “little guys.” Jump on this!

For children in grades K-5, no registration required
