Description
This task deals with the life of an important decomposer in forest soil by making your own potworms and feeding them. Potworms have a transparent skin layer through which the food they eat can be seen. In forest soil, earthworms eat decaying organic matter and bacteria, thus helping to maintain soil looseness and health.
In this activity, students get to use their imagination and experience the world of worms through hands-on activities.
