Professor Worm welcomes you into his classroom to learn more about his favorite subject—himself! Worms are found everywhere dirt is found, and that’s just about everywhere. Despite having no eyes, ears, or legs, worms can feel sounds, move with bristles on segmented body parts, and are master recyclers helping garden soil stay healthy and full of nutrients. Earthworms may look the same, but scientists have identified more than 1,000 different kinds. Learn how you can cultivate a happy wormy home in your own backyard, and how these essential tiny earth movers make our planet a better place to live and thrive!
