Herman's Statewide Goals Students will be able to: Know the basic vocabulary of biology: biological composition, digestion and reproduction told through a guided study of the worm. Gain knowledge of the principles of basic scientific research and application through the creation, observation and maintenance of a worm bin. Read critically and analytically by first viewing the biological life of the worm and creating an environment to support life. Perform the computations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by manipulating figures to create a worm bin. Make and use measurements, including area and volume, to create an optimal environment to maintain and reproduce worms and create castings. Explain the interdependence within a closed system by creating a worm bin and apply that knowledge to human systems."

"One story in our basal is about worms. This brings on quite a discussion. Go to the above site and meet Herman The Worm. As a whole class we can read about how worms got here, their family tree, their anatomy, how to live with worms, etc. Independently, go to Herman's Fun Place and play some games based on the facts you've learned, create a fill-in adventure story and/or illustrate Herman and send your picture to him."

"Gray-Schulze says kids like bugs and worms. So she votes for “The Adventures of Herman the Worm (http:///www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/worms/index.html), a site that introduces children to worm anatomy, behavior and even eating preferences. “Kids will be amused,” she says, “when they test their ‘worm food’ knowledge and learn that worms actually love to eat things like butter and tea bags.”"

Of course not just any garbage, but specifically fruit, vegetables, tea bags, egg shells, newspapers and coffee grounds. And as he eats, he leaves behind valuable castings that can be used as fertilizer in your garden. Learn all about him and his cousin the earthworm, and how to build a worm bin at home or your in your classroom."

URL: http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu//gpe/index.html

Comments: The Great Plant Escape, is an elementary program for 4th and 5th grade students, who solve mystery cases by developing an understanding of all the information presented in the unit. The cases cover the basics of plants, for instance, Case #1 introduces the parts of the plant and what plants need to grow. Each of the lessons in this program is interdisciplinary, designed to introduce students to plant science and increase their understanding of how foods grow. An added feature, students have the opportunity to ask Detective LePlant a question. Activities enhance student's math, science, language arts, social studies, music and art.
The teacher has many options in this program. Any or all of the suggested activities may be used for the class. Many activities are for students to work independently and some are for group work. Each case begins with a "Before You Begin" section for the teacher. The "Background" section provides the teacher with all the information shared in the lesson. Also included are diagrams and illustrations. Particularly helpful in the "Glossary" which is "consulted" if a student does not know the meaning of a linked term. The "Green Links" section not only provides websites and books but also grants and gardening supplies.
While the site is aimed at fourth and fifth grade, I feel the site could be adapted for a lower grade, third, which is where plants are taught in my school district. If nothing else, while utilizing a large screen projection device, the teacher could read the information from the screen and assist the students in understanding the material. I plan to share this with my third grade team who has been searching for up-to-date materials for their plant unit!
This excellent site is sponsored by the Urban Programs Resource network, University of Illinois Extension. Also sponsored by this network is the Adventures of Herman, an earthworm site, and Walk in My Shoes, a lesson what happens to our bodies as we age, and last, A Guide to the Babysitting Business."

Herman's Statewide Goals Students will be able to: Know the basic vocabulary of biology: biological composition, digestion and reproduction told through a guided study of the worm. Gain knowledge of the principles of basic scientific research and application through the creation, observation and maintenance of a worm bin. Read critically and analytically by first viewing the biological life of the worm and creating an environment to support life. Perform the computations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by manipulating figures to create a worm bin. Make and use measurements, including area and volume, to create an optimal environment to maintain and reproduce worms and create castings. Explain the interdependence within a closed system by creating a worm bin and apply that knowledge to human systems."

"Can a worm drown?
Certainly. Just not as fast as you and I.
Worms breathe through their skin, and have lots of capillaries circulating blood near the surface to do this. Being small, they don't usually have immense air requirements either. So usually in the top parts of the soil where they live there's enough air for them to get by.
Depending on the content of the water, there may also be plenty of oxygen for them to get by as well. The interface in a worm's skin can extract oxygen from fluid about as well as the air. So if there's enough oxygen in the water (as there usually is in rain water) it's no obstacle at all. In fact, worms have been observed to survive in water-saturated soil for MONTHS.
Worms do not, in fact, come to the surface when it rains because they are at risk of drowning. That (as mentioned in the previous paragraph) is not a risk at all. On the other hand, they may come to the surface during rain because they need to stay moist and don't like sunlight, and a rainstorm is the only time the surface fits those conditions. There may very well be other reasons too.
