Snail Inquiry

A group of students have brought in a snail from our playground after all the rain we've had, more snails and worms were out and about. They have been asking many questions to learn more about the habitat for snails, wondering what it needs to survive.  Yasser is making a connection to a TV show he watched at home. Farah really wants the snail to become our classroom pet.  Other friends have been busy drawing and colouring pictures of our snail. We learned that snails love to eat leaves, and need water and air to stay happy. Our snail likes to move and leaves a slime trail behind it. We showed the students a video to further investigate features of snails, and we learned that they have a mouth with thousands of tiny teeth, the students though that was interesting.
