Slime, Slime, and More Slime...
We brought in some snails for the students to observe.
They got right down to business observing.
 |
| "I think this is a baby one...it's so tiny." |
 |
| "Look at his eyes. They are popping up!" |
 |
| "He goes faster than I thought he would." |
 |
| "His shell follows him." |
 |
| "Look I can see his slime!" "He is leaving a trail of slime!" |
 |
| "To make the shell you just go around and around and around...try it." |
 |
| "Do you think the slime trail is always straight or curvy?" The students did discover that the slime trail is different all the time. Sometimes the trails are straight, sometimes they are curvy. Sometimes the trails even look like shapes and letters of the alphabet. |
