them in moist soil beneath rocks, logs or leaf litter. A great time to
go for a worm walk is after a rainfall. They come out of their flooded
burrows. How many worms can you find? Where can you find them?
What are they doing? Help your child record the worm observations
you make together in a notebook.
Buscando Lombrices: Salga a buscar lombrices con su hijo o hija.
Búsquelas en suelos húmedos, debajo de las ramas u hojas muertas.
El mejor momento para buscarlas es después de una lluvia, cuando
salen de sus madrigueras inundadas. ¿Cuántas encontraron?
¿Dónde las encontraron? ¿Qué estaban haciendo? Ayude a su
hijo o hija a anotar las observaciones que hicieron acerca de las
lombrices en un Cuaderno Ambiental.
Fishing Worms: Use worms as bait to go fishing with your child.
Many common freshwater fish can be caught with a worm on a
hook including sunfish, bass, perch and catfish. Visit
www.takemefishing.org for fishing information. You can find out
where to catch fish and may even be able to borrow equipment.
Cebo: Utilice las lombrices como carnada para ir a pescar con
su hijo o hija. Muchos peces comunes de agua dulce, incluyendo
perca, róbalo y bagre, pueden ser capturados colocando una
lombriz en un anzuelo. Busque información sobre la pesca en
www.takemefishing.org. A través de este enlace, usted puede
encontrar información sobre dónde pescar y dónde pedir prestado
equipo de pesca.
