Clam Models

Students observed and recorded data for their mealworms.
Students then received clam model sheets. They will be using color to identify the different parts of a mollusk, cut the pieces out and staple together to create a model of a clam. We are doing this together in class today and tomorrow.

Shell Classification

We were suppose to have started the Meal Worm Project today. However, students did not bring in tubs and I don't have enough. So....Hopefully students will have tubs by Friday so that we can start that project.
Today students were given a variety of shells. They needed to classify them into groups, explain why they put them in the groups they did, sketch them, explain how they think they move and how and what they eat.
