Earthworm Dissection (Vinyl Display & 3-D Paper Model)

Earthworm Dissection (Vinyl Display & 3-D Paper Model) provides a hands-on, humane, and eco-friendly lesson that helps the student to dig into invertebrate anatomy with a vinyl twist. Formerly part of Getting Nerdy’s Scienstructable collection, now a part of Inside Out Science lineup, this oversized vinyl earthworm model brings annelid anatomy to life, making it easy to teach segmentation, digestive pathways, organ systems, and comparative invertebrate biology.

The lesson includes digital student handouts that allow learners to colour, cut, and assemble their own 3-D earthworm model while exploring internal and external structures through guided readings and graphic organizers. Suitable for building foundational vocabulary and observation skills in any biology or life science unit. The physical vinyl model arrives on perforated sheets and assembles effortlessly with glue dots and Velcro. Mount it to the included vinyl dissection tray sticker to create a reusable demonstration tool that stays crisp and classroom-ready. A video assembly link walks you through each step.
Digital access is sent straight to your inbox, making it easy to print, project, or assign through your LMS.

Humane, durable, and endlessly reusable, this Vinyl Earthworm Dissection Model brings soil science and invertebrate anatomy to life, without ever harming a single worm. Furthermore, this model adheres to modern Three Rs standards (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement), offering an eco-friendly and scent-free experience that accommodates students opting out of traditional dissections. A paper version is also available.
