Topic
When Charles Darwin was not voyaging around the world on the Beagle, you may well have found him in his garden looking for worms. Darwin became obsessed with earthworms. He decided to count how many were in his garden and, having decided there was an average of 53,767 worms per acre, he then moved most of them into his study and proceeded to investigate. Darwin noticed that the soil in some areas of his garden seemed to contain more worms than others. Follow in Darwin’s footsteps and try to find out which soil worms prefer. See the resource below, which will guide you through this investigation.
