Provide each student with a 9 by 11-inch piece of red construction paper. Have the students cut out an apple shape from the red piece of paper making it as large as possible on the page? If your students have trouble with this, cutting out a cardboard pattern is another option. Students also cut out two leaf shapes and a stem from green and brown construction paper. Most students can cut out shapes to form the leaves and stem without a pattern. The apple is assembled by gluing the leaves and stem to the back of the red apple.<\/p>\n<p>For our writing project, students wrote a rough draft summarizing the story. They rewrote the summary on a new piece of paper and glued it onto the apple.<\/p>\n<p>To make the worm, students were given pom-poms in varying sizes. Glue the pom-poms in order from largest to smallest. Add wiggly eyes to the largest pom-pom for the head.<\/p>\n<p>These look great on a bulletin board.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5219ebc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5219ebc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3afc527\" data-id=\"3afc527\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04feead elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"04feead\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Teaching Idea #5 ~\u00a0Worm Facts<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7229789 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7229789\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/bookunitsteacher.com\/blog\/august2014\/earthworm.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"Earthworm\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-465e066 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"465e066\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/bookunitsteacher.com\/reading_friedworms\/TenFactsWorms.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-md\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-paper-plane\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get the printable version to the worm facts.<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-946ade6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"946ade6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 align=\"justify\">1.\u00a0Migration<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">Worms have not always lived in America. Many scientists believe that worms living in America were killed during the Ice Age. This was approximately 10,000 to 50,000 years ago. During the 1600s and 1700s, Europeans brought worms to North America as they were forming the colonies. This was quite by accident. Colonists wanted to bring plants from their native countries to the New World. The worms were living in the dirt that surrounded the plants. Just think, if worms had not been brought to the New World, American soil would be very poor.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">2.\u00a0Harmful?<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">Some people think worms are bad for the garden. They have seen damage created by pests. Cockroaches, termites, beetles, and silverfish love to eat paper and the binding of books. Malaria is spread to thousands of people each year through mosquito bites. Fleas carry bacteria that can cause humans to get sick when bitten. It\u2019s no wonder that people think earthworms are harmful as well.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">3.\u00a0Size<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">Earthworms vary greatly in size. Some are only an inch long while others are many feet long. The Australian giant earthworms average about ten feet in length. The largest earthworm ever found measured 22 feet from anterior to posterior. In North America, the largest common nightcrawlers are only about 12 inches.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">4.\u00a0Behavior<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">Some earthworms receive their names based on their behavior. The nightcrawler comes up to the surface at night. The angleworm is often used for bait by fishermen. The rain worm leaves the water-soaked soil after storms.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">5.\u00a0Breathing<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">Earthworms breathe through their skin.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">6.\u00a0Young<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">Baby worms hatch from eggs fully formed. They can live up to eight years although one to two years is the norm.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">7.\u00a0Food<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">Earthworms eat mostly leaves. Their digestive system is a tube that runs from their mouths to the rear portion of their bodies. Earthworms move nutrients such as potassium and nitrogen into the soil. In fact, some gardeners buy earthworms and place them in their gardens.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">8.\u00a0Benefits<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">While earthworms are extremely beneficial to farmlands, they can cause harm to northern forests. Northern forests have a cushion of decaying leaves called duff. This is beneficial to young trees and insects. When earthworms move through the duff, they eat it up leaving young saplings and insects without needed nutrients.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">9.\u00a0Movement<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">Hairs on each segment of the earthworm help it move through the soil.<\/p><h3 align=\"justify\">10.\u00a0Species<\/h3><p align=\"justify\">There are about 6,000 species of worms.<\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><div
