    Invertebrate Lab: Earthworms and Soil Fertilization
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    How do earthworms influence soil structure? Students observe and discuss how worms ingest soil, break down organic matter, and eject material as surface or sub-surface casts. Also discussed is the formation of water-stable aggregates, the aeration of the soil, and the improvement of soil water-holding capacity.
