About this Event
Nature Club - Earthworms: The Compost Crew for ages 5-9 at the Science Oxford Centre
Worms are amazing – find out why! Unearth the underground life of worms and discover how they contribute to nature’s ecosystem. Make a jelly worm, learn about composting and see how worms help the soil to grow veg and plants. Dig for worms in our woodland, and take a survey by counting and identifying our wriggly friends. Investigate with simple tests to see whether our Headington Quarry soil is sandy, loamy or clay. Take home an activity sheet to build your own micro-wormery for the garden!

10AM - 11.30AM
12.30PM - 2PM

Suitable for ages 5-9 (child must be accompanied by an adult)
