Our Classroom Investigation
Our class built three pretend places on the classroom rug. First, we made a need card for a bean plant and a land snail. Next, we moved a paper plant and a paper snail from spot to spot. We changed the spot but kept each need card the same. Then, we checked which needs each spot could meet. Our model notes are below. No living plants or snails were tested.
Bean plant need cardAir, water, daylight, and soil for its roots.
Land snail need cardAir, water to stay damp, bits of dead leaves for food, and a covered hiding place.
