Ok, now time for my post. On Monday, as I was doing my science work, I decided to dissect a worm. Normally the idea of worm dissecting would be weird and slightly gross to me, but since that's what I was learning about in science, I thought I'd give it a try. I collected all the necessary tools, Mom's tweezers (don't worry, I sterilized them when I was finished), nail scissors, sewing pins, scalpel knife, styrofoam plate, aluminium foil and, of course, my camera. Once the worm was all opened up, I found it kind of fascinating to see, in real life, all the structures showed in my textbook!

Very cool pictures, although quite gross!
Hahaha, well mom, I didn't do it RIGHT ON the bare kitchen table- that would leave pin holes. :) Micheal, yes I did kill the worm before, by suffocation. your poor cat, haha. Gwen, say hi to all the kids for me!! I miss them all! oh, and you and mark too of course. :)
