What worms eat depends in part on where they live. Worms can live closer to the surface or much deeper underground. On the surface, worms eat a variety of organic materials, such as dead grass and leaves that have fallen from the trees. There are microscopic organisms that live on these leaves.

As a science fair judge for more then 25 years at Chicago Public Schools, I just couldn't resist checking out this year's entries at the Poudre schools.  I was happy to see there wasn't anything too goofy.  I commend the science teachers at Poudre schools and hope to see more in the future.
