Kit showcase: Snail Inquiry

Periodically, we will be showcasing one of our supplemental kits that are available for all BioSITE teachers to borrow and use in the classroom. Contact the BioSITE staff member you work with for check-out details and availability.

This week's activity: Open-ended investigation of snails.

In this activity, students learn and use the processes of open-ended exploration and inquiry to investigate snail anatomy and behavior. Questions are formed, observations are recorded, and students learn the fun of acting like a scientist. The kit includes magnifiers, measuring tools, and various materials to explore snail behavior. You will need to supply the snails!

This is Unit 1, Activity 2 from the BioSITE curriculum.
