Our 5th graders have been hard at work as scientists in their classroom, closely observing worms and recording what they notice—just like real researchers! Students practiced patience, careful observation, and critical thinking as they watched how worms move, where they choose to settle, and how their environment affects their behavior.
Activities like this help students build curiosity, strengthen science skills, and make learning come alive. We love seeing our learners so engaged, thoughtful, and excited about discovering how the world works!
