I Got Worms

I GOT WORMS
Day 1: Today I went looking for an animal for our science case study I was a little bit disappointed that I could not get a hissing cockroach so I settled for meal worms. When I bought a cup of worms I was a little bit disappointed because I thought that they would be big and cool like fishing worms was I wrong they are small and white and look like maggots. They also really don’t move around much either. So when I got home I tucked them away in the fridge.
Day 2: I went back to the fridge and tried to make the worms a new home. So I got one of my roommate tuber ware bowls and gave them a nice new place to live. Then I decided to get them a little bit of food so I looked around my place and found a nice red apple to feed my new pet ( I said to myself what worm does not like apples). So I cut up the apple and put it in the bowl for the worms to feast on.
Day 3: I woke up and noticed that I had a lot of the worms were dead and they have not even touched the nice apple that I gave them to eat.
Day 4: I came home from school and looked at my project and even more of the worms were dead. I am beginning to think that I am doing something wrong with all of the worms that I have lost in the past few days. I also pulled out the dry apple that the worms had not even touched and replaced it with a slice of potato. I hope this works much better.
Day 5: I check out my worms before I went to bed and almost all of them were dead! I keep thinking that I am doing something wrong because more of the worms are dead than are alive.
Day 6: I need to buy more worms I hope this batch goes better than the last one.
Day 7: I am now passing the worms on to a group member I hope they have better luck than I did.
