Although all was neat and ready as usual, there was a particular sense of anticipation in the air. The box from Carolina Biological had arrived and had been opened and a table had been set up for the Earthworm dissection. There was the cylinder with the worms, trays and tools for dissection, a picture of the earthworm, pins and an eye-dropper for water.
These are the things I learned from the experience of dissecting an earthworm:
1) Be gentle. If you push too hard, you will miss what you are looking for.
2) Be patient. Things are not always what they seem at first.
3) Ask for help. If you need it.
Guess I should name my worm “Miss Manners.” Each team named our worms.
What would you name yours?
