Getting creative in Science!

The Year One students had a wonderful time last week observing the features of a snail. After looking at them we drew a labelled diagram of what a snail looked like...but I wanted to see if they remembered all the features a week later. I must say, I was blown away!

We got creative and used modelling clay to show our understanding of what a snail looks like. We had to remember the tentacles, the shell, the foot, the air hole and the eye spots. By making our snail, it gave the children an opportunity to tell myself what they knew about snails, without having to write down their knowledge. This created another avenue for each child to show their understanding of the Science concept. 

The children had a great time creating their snails.
