Hello sweatpead123,

I understand finding informatin on the web can sometimes be challenging. If you have a specific question let us know and we can help out.

It appears that you are doing the "Squirmy Wormy: Which Soil Type Do Earthworms Like Best?" experiment.

Did you check the bibliography section (pasted below) of the experiment for helpful websites? If they weren't helpful what information are you trying to find?

Bibliography

This source describes what plants need to stay healthy, including rich soil:

North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Kids World. (n.d.). Plant Nutrients. Retrieved March 1, 2010, from http://www.ncagr.gov/cyber/kidswrld/plant/nutrient.htm

This source describes how earthworms eat and why they are important:

University of Guelph. (2009, May 25). Worm Watch—Ecology. Retrieved March 2, 2010, from http://www.icewatch.ca/english/wormwatc ... ology.html

Hello!
I assume from all the experts that you are doing this experiment(the one on the link): https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p061.shtml
Correct?
You must first gather all the materials and equipment listed and then follow the steps the experiment gives you!
Good luck and if you get confused or don't understand everything just post back and we will help you! :D
