Snails

Posted May 17, 2012

The Keas have been investigating snails this term. We have an aquarium with snails and slugs in it so we have been observing them with our magnifying glasses. We have looked at You Tube clips of snails laying eggs and we have seen them munching away on lettuce with their hundreds of teeth on their tongues.

Take a look at the information reports that the Cool Keas have been working on and our neat photos.

Please read our amazing snail reports.
