Do worms eat dirt?

Yesterday, Mrs. Schurle's science classes performed an experiment trying to answer that question. Today, they wrote their conclusions. #celebrate379

P.S. The answer is yes, sort of. Earthworms do eat soil, but they’re not digesting the dirt itself. Instead, they’re after the organic matter that’s mixed in with the soil.
