With a video of a slug playing in the background, the children were invited to explore these creatures through clay. This material afforded the creation of habitats and further exploration of a slugs physical attributes.
I made dots and a breathing hole. Ray
Little balls right there (at the end of his tentacles). Charlotte
He’s very fat. It’s a big lump. Maybe that’s his shield against prey. Charlie
Maybe that’s where his food is going. Maren
I need to make a slug trail! Slime slippery slug trail. Brooke
They (tentacles) grab the food and put it in his mouth. They were like little arms. I saw a tentacle come out of his body!
It would take him 200 years to climb Mount Everest! Charlie
I’m making a slug cave! Maren
Baby slug. Look, he’s with his mom and dad. Dad is much fatter. Maren
