Sample worm wonders
Following an introduction to the worms the students developed their own authentic wonders.
The questions from the 'wonder sheet' were then categorized. The next step is to help students shape their questions into deeper inquiry questions.
For example, students should be asked which questions they can simply look up the answer to and which questions can we test for ourselves here in the classroom.
Enter the scientific process and authentic experimentation based on student interest about composting worms.
