Unit Plan

Arizona Science Standards:
2.L2U1.9 (NGSS-P: K-LS1-1) Obtain, analyze, and communicate evidence that organisms need a source of energy, air, water, and certain temperature conditions to survive.
2.L2U1.10 (NGSS-NC) Develop a model representing how life on Earth depends on energy from the Sun and energy from other organisms.

Worm World Science Notebook v3 uses the #STEMAZingPictureBooks Yucky Worms by Vivian French (illustrated by Jessica Ahlberg) and This is a Book to Read with a Worm by Jodi Wheeler-Toppen (illustrated by Margaret McCartney). Minimally, you will want a copy of each book for the teacher.

There are two editions of the Worm World Science Notebook, one that only has students doing two experiments – one on bedding preference of red wigglers and one on food preference. The other Worm World Science Notebook has space for students to complete a third choice experiment.
