Materials Needed:

• 2 clear plastic containers -- one smaller than the other
• Screen or piece of stocking
• Rubber band
• Dirt
• Worms

• Take two clear plastic containers, one smaller than the other. Place the smaller one inside the larger one, leaving a narrow space between the two containers.
• Fill the narrow space with fresh soil (do not use potting soil). Make sure the soil is moist, but not drenched.
• Place worms inside the narrow space.
• Place the piece of screen or stocking over the top of the containers and secure with a rubber band.
• Watch how the worms move, tunnel, and aerate the dirt. This is what they do to the soil in your garden and lawn, enabling plant roots to grow.
• After a couple of days, return the worms to their native habitat.
