You must dig
You must dig

The earthworm has a unique life cycle
It starts in a cocoon
Just like this
The cocoons an earthworm makes are much smaller than a grain of rice
So think about a grain of rice
Even smaller than that is the cocoon that an earthworm lives in
The cocoon can remain dormant or alive but not active for years until it is safe for the baby
To hatch
So the baby's only going to hatch when there's real dirt and good soil for the worm to live in
When they hatch, they are only half to one inch long
Ooo So maybe you could get out your ruler after this and measure one inch
You'll see how tiny worms are when they're first born, when they first hatch
These worms will reach full size at about one year's old
Wow
The earthworm has both male and female parts
That means that an earthworm can mate with any other worm of the same species
When they mate, each worm helps the other worm fertilize the eggs
The cocoons will hatch two or three weeks later and the whole cycle will
Start
Again
Pay close attention to this because today we're going to be making a picture of our very own..
