🤩Creating wonder … and nature custodians of the future

🪱Listen to the questions - do worms like wet or dry soil?
🪱Share an interesting detail - worms come above ground during heavy rain as tunnels fill with water
🪱Experiment - what soil will the worms like best
🪱Be curious - what else can we notice about worms
🪱Respect the natural world - always return the worms to where you found them

…..and model your own sense of awe to share the magic and complexity of the world around 🤩
