Plants in Our Midst #6 - Slow, Slimy Slugs!
Sparked by the children's interest, we now have a terrarium full of creepy crawlers! You may find, a caterpillar, wood bugs, earthworms, and the star, a black slug!
Everyday when we walk along the trail in the forest, the children can't help but notice all the different creepy crawlers they see. What do these creatures do in the forest? How do they survive in the forest? To help with our research, we put together a forest habitat in our terrarium and relocated some of our neighbourly creepy crawlers into their new house. The children painted a picture of the terrarium as they observed the tank. Here are some things they noticed:
Theo: I can't see the slug, he's hiding.
Allye: Maybe it's sleeping.
Connor: The slug needs water.
Lucas: The slug eat leaves.
