There has been a range of interesting and odd animals for us to observe and learn about in the Science Lab. Some of them have become great pets, so I thought I would give them their own post to introduce them to the people who haven’t been lucky enough to meet them yet.
The Hermit Crabs
The hermit crabs are very interesting animals to watch. They are crustaceans and they like to climb and dig in the sand.
Snail eggs
The Garden Snails
The year ones collected some snails last term and they have proved very interesting to observe. They have even laid eggs and hatched baby snails.
The Aquatic Snails
Last term we got some lovely baby apple snails from Miss McBride as hers have been breeding profusely. These snails have been very active, moving around the tank cleaning everything.
The Stick Insects
Every now and then the spiny leaf stick insects like to come to school. They don’t move around very much but they are very interesting to look at.
