What do worms eat?
2
Hi!
3
Welcome to Curious Kids Every Day.
4
I'm Josh.
5
How are you doing today?
6
It's so good to hear from you.
7
Hey, if I asked you to act like a worm right now, what would you do?
8
Here, I'll give you some music.
9
Why don't you act like a worm for a minute?
10
Ready?
11
Three, two, one, go!
12
I'm guessing that you were squirming and bending your body all over the place, right?
13
That's how worms move!
14
They are some of the strangest and most fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom.
15
You know we did an episode one time about how unique a worm's body is
16
but today I want to talk about.. well it's kind of related to that but it's something else.
17
See I was thinking about worms today because I got a question from a kid in the Curious Kids Club named Ellie.
18
Ellie wondered...
19
Hello, my name is Ellie, and I was wondering, what do worms eat?
20
Okay, well, first, there are lots of different kinds of worms, and they don't all eat the same things.
21
But today, we're going to talk about earthworms.
22
Because when you hear the word worm, you're probably thinking about the little creatures you see digging around in your backyard, right?
23
Those are usually earthworms.
24
And a lot of earthworms' food comes from material that is already starting to break down.
25
So think about a leaf that falls from a tree.
26
Now does that leaf stay there forever?
27
No, it eventually becomes softer and it begins to decay.
28
Dead roots and other leftover pieces of plants, they break down too.
29
This material is called organic material.
30
Can you say organic material?
31
Different kinds of earthworms find this food in different places.
32
Some live close to the surface and feed among fallen leaves and other plant material.
33
Others burrow through soil that contains bits of organic matter.
34
go go even deeper and deeper, they burrow really deep, and they pull plant material from the surface down toward their burrows.
35
But there's another important part of the earthworm's meal.
36
All over that decaying material are tiny living things called microorganisms.
37
Can you say microorganisms?
38
Bacteria and fungi are examples of microorganisms.
39
Earthworms can swallow these microorganisms along with the decaying material and soil around them.
40
That means when you see an earthworm moving through dirt, it may actually swallow some of that soil as it searches for food inside it.
41
But here's where things get really interesting, because earthworms don't have teeth.
42
Food enters through the earthworm's mouth, and then a muscular part called the pharynx helps pull the food inside.
43
Then the food travels to an organ called the crop, where it can be held for a little while, and after that it enters the gizzard.
44
Do you know what the gizzard is?
45
The gizzard is a strong muscular organ that grinds the food into smaller pieces.
46
Tiny gritty particles, such as bits of sand or soil, can help with the grinding.
47
After the gizzard finishes grinding, the food moves into the intestine.
48
There the earthworm digests the food and absorbs nutrients its body can use.
49
Whatever is left eventually passes out of the earthworm's body, like it's going to the bathroom.
50
But that material is called a casting.
51
You may have seen earthworm castings before without realizing.
52
They can look like tiny clumps of crumbling soil.
53
Earthworms can even help us recycle certain kinds of food waste.
54
A type of earthworm called a red wiggler is commonly kept in special compost bins.
55
People give them things like fruits and vegetable scraps, and as that food begins breaking down,
56
microorganisms grow on it and worms consume the microorganisms along with some of the decomposing food.
57
Eventually the worms produce castings that can be added to the soil.
58
So the worms eat from the soil and then add to it.
59
Pretty amazing.
60
Their castings contain nutrients that help the soil hold water and air, which can make it a better place for plants to grow.
61
So if you dig into the dirt and you find an earthworm, there's a good chance that while you were digging, you also dug up some of its food too.
62
Decaying plant material and tiny microorganisms living on it.
63
Isn't that amazing?
64
Alright, let's have a quick quiz and see what we learned today.
65
What do we call dead plant material that is breaking down in soil?
66
It's called organic matter.
67
And what organ inside an earthworm grinds its food?
68
It's called the gizzard.
69
And what can help the gizzard grind food into smaller pieces?
70
Gritty particles such as sand or soil.
71
And what do we call the processed materials that pass out of an earthworm?
72
They're called castings.
73
All right, let's play true or false.
74
True or false, earthworms have teeth that they can use to chew their food.
75
Nope, that's false.
76
True or false, earthworms can eat microorganisms living on decaying material. That is true.
77
True or false, some earthworms pull plant material from the surface toward their burrows. That is true, too.
78
Would you rather have a pet worm or a pet fish?
79
You know what?
80
I've never had either of these things.
81
I've never had a worm or a fish, but I've seen lots of worms and I've seen lots of fish.
82
And if I had to pick just one, I think I'd choose the worm.
83
Yeah, because the worm can kind of just feed itself.
84
You gotta feed a fish.
85
Alright, let's play a round of what am I.
86
What am I?
87
I can be so small that you can't see me without a microscope.
88
I can live on decaying material.
89
And bacteria and fungi are two examples of me.
90
What am I?
91
I am a microorganism.
92
You want to play one more round of what am I?
93
I got one more.
94
Ready?
95
What am I?
96
You might find me sitting on the ground.
97
I once grew on a plant.
98
And after I fall and begin to decay, I can become food for earthworms.
99
What am I?
100
I am a leaf.
101
Well, now we know what earthworms eat.
102
They eat decaying plant material and the tiny microorganisms living on it.
103
Some earthworms swallow soil along with their food, and because they don't have teeth, a muscular gizzard helps grind everything into smaller pieces.
104
After the food moves through the digestive system, the remaining material leaves the worm as things called castings,
105
and those castings are actually helpful for the soil.
106
They contain nutrients that help the soil hold water and air, which can make it a better place for plants to grow.
107
Isn't that amazing?
108
Worms are a really important part of nature.
109
The next time you see one, make sure to say, thank you, little worm.
110
Now, before we say goodbye today, I want to say a special thank you to our friend, Miss Dolly.
111
She has mailed so many wonderful books to my kids over the years because she wanted to help them learn to read.
112

114

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
