The 6th graders finished their "wormy" experiment yesterday by weighing the mass of the food scraps they put into the jars a couple of weeks ago. The first number indicates the amount put in and the second number represents what was left.
grapefruit - 14.1g --> 11g; 8.6g --> 0g
apple - 5.2g --> 4g; 5.5g --> 2.7g
banana - 11.2g --> 10.8g; 11.5g --> 0g
kiwi - 5.1g --> 0; 5.1g --> 2.4g
orange - 4.5g --> 0g
Reasons given by the 6th graders as to why the first group did not have a substantial decrease...they must be dead!
Well, the first group had small, not too excited earthworms in their jar while the second group has some pretty big, active night crawlers.
All the students agreed...it was a FUN experiment!
