Wiggly worms

finally. the presentation’s over, and i’ve submitted the lesson plan this afternoon. feels like there’s more room to breathe. but cant breathe a huge sigh of relief just yet. here at QUT, 1 sem equals to 13 weeks. and this sem, we've been 'blessed' with 12 assignments. 3 oral presentations and 9 written. that is equivalent to 1 assignment due each week. there’s always a price to pay. good thing we dont have tests and exams. so now, 2 down, 9 more to go! best of luck!

btw, here are some pics of the processes involved in completing our science assignment. it was a pair work. it was a good experience, but to do it again? hmmm maybe not. you’ll see what i mean –

digging for worms in our backyard

someone's hungry. dont try this at home ;p

yummy juicy worms

those who helped us :)
without whom we couldnt have carried out the experiment

making wormeries

their temporary homes

the lesson. my partner fadilah

hopefully that was the first and last i had to teach science.
i'm not narrow-minded, i'm just narrowing my choice ;p

not captured – the experiment and the worms during the lesson.
ironically, both of us, the presenters, the ‘teachers’, are not big fans of worms. we didnt touch those worms at all, not even once. geli. hehehe. we chose to present that topic (earthworms) coz we wanted to do something out of the ordinary. and, it did trigger a sense of curiosity. what i’ve scientifically learned? all of us living souls owe very very much to earthworms. still, that didnt change my mind about getting skin on skin with them. euw ;p huhu.

of course, after that we let them go :) there was no violation of earthworm rights. no animal was intentionally harmed in the making of that presentation. hehe. hmmm actually… some of the worms did get hurt (and died!), but those were pure, honest accidents! even though i dont fancy worms, i believe i’m civilised and humane enough not to purposely kill (or eat!) them.

zillion thanks to sarah and rozy. they definitely deserve some credits. thanks for helping us to empty those drink bottles and find the worms!!! u guys really are wondergirls! ^_^ and fadilah too! luckily we have our ehemmm, australian friend to help us find those australian worms. also thanks to dearest classmates for your cooperation. happy bookworming! (hmm?)
