Wiggly Worms and Loopy Leeches

We have been busy studying invertebrates in science.  Each day we go over a different phylum of critters and then we do a little more exploring. I thank Mr. Mikles for letting us use all the "pickled" animals he has up in his science lab. It is cool to be able to see octopi and sea cucumbers - even if they are bottled in a jar.

Today we explored the phylum of annelids or segmented worms. The kids got to play with night crawlers and leeches. They brainstormed some questions and then carried out an experiment on the poor creatures.
