Worms Experiment

We put garden soil in a plastic container. Then, we squirted water in the box. Next, we put the worms in the box. Finally, we tested how the earthworms would react with a white light and a red light.

Do earthworms prefer white light or red light?I predict that the white light will cause the worms to hide in the soil or under the paper.
