Seventh Graders Couldn't Worm Their Way Out of this Lab!

That's right! The seventh graders in Mrs. Cessar's science class are performing dissections of worms in this hands-on approach to their biology unit. The students learned the proper techniques for studying the worm's internal structure and developed an appreciation for the anatomy of an earthworm. Who knew that an earthworm's digestive system runs the length of its body, and that it breathes through its skin? Our seventh graders saw for themselves!
