Under Your Feet

A sandworm’s cast

(poo) looks like a

pile of sand.

Earthworms

can eat their

body weight

in a day.

Earthworms can

live for two to

ten years.

Earthworm bodies are

slimy and covered in

many tiny, stiff hairs. This

helps them to burrow and

wriggle through the soil.

SandWorms

Sandworms live on the beach. They

eat sand as they burrow and poo

it out in loopy piles. Count the

number of piles to guess how

many sandworms there are.
