In the All About Earthworms! Animal Behavior Laboratory Kit for biology and life science, go beyond a typical dissection and study a live earthworm. Observe and dissect.
Go beyond a typical dissection and study a live earthworm as part of this lesson. First, students observe live earthworms move and respond to the environment. Then they dissect preserved earthworms with special emphasis on the muscles responsible for the movement observed earlier. Includes 15 comprehensive All About Earthworms! student booklets and an earthworm structures full-color overhead, diagram and worksheet.
Super Value Kit is complete for 15 student groups. All materials are reusable. Preserved and live earthworms are required and available separately.
