Slow Science: Snail Races

 

Taking a wee look at snails, we wanted to discover if they move in a straight line. We created a circular race track and Miss C suggested putting dandelion around the edges to entice them to move. Then we placed our bets!

Since they leave a mucus trail, it was easy to see their pattern of motion. 

 Apparently, they are interested in light sources, as a flashlight had them stretching high.
