Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District taught kids about worms and more during a science session held at Elida Elementary School.
A worm study presentation was presented to 2nd graders where they learned about living things and how they impact the environment, soil, and earth.
Kids were able to go hands-on during the session, holding and making observations of the worms.
"All of our environmental education programs are always interactive and hands-on," said Beth Theisen, Naturalist at Johnny Appleseed Metro Parks. "I believe that children learn the best by being involved with their learning, and so we make it a point to always, whether it is field trips that the kids come to us or programs we take out to the schools, they are always interacting with hands-on, minds-on sorts of activities."
More sessions with second graders are planned for the rest of the week.
