Learning Area: iExperience - Worm Farming

Learning Observed

In Learning Habitat 1 this term we have been discussing sustainability. Our group has been looking at recycling, mainly worm farming and decomposition. This has been a new aspect that we have introduced and the learners have taken a real interest in it. During the lesson the learners were put into groups and we were investigating and exploring the worms habitat. The learners had to locate certain aspects of the worm farm. This involved analysing worms and the soil that they call their home. The learners had to use their Curiosity to come up with questions about the worms habitat.  They were showing their Capabilities to be able to identify and locate the specific items of the habitat that we have learnt about. This was a group task so Collaboration and Relating to Others were being shown. Sereya, Yuvika and Alysia were in charge of identifying the different eggs that they find. Delcy and her group were in charge of finding what materials were eaten the most. Shreya and Nanami’s group were to find the most common place they worms were hiding. Irene was helping to find the items that were not decomposing as quickly as the others. They were each reporting back to the larger group.

Evidence of learning

Learners are working together to analyse the worm farm. They all reported back to their group.

Next Learning Steps

Shreya, Nanami, Irene, Sereya, Alysia, Delcy and Yuvika’s next learning steps are to: classify the different items and organic material they found. Discuss and explain the process in which the worms express the worm tea. show evidence of their learning.
