Our Snake Inquiry

The students are showing a continued interest in snakes. We have been exploring the students' wonders and finding answers to some of these questions!

We asked students 'what do snakes eat'? Students shared their thinking.

We had a discussion about how to find out what snakes actually eat. Students shared a lot of different ideas. D.K. suggested that we put out all the food that we wrote and see which the snakes eat the most. Another student said "that is a summer experiment not a winter one". This began a fabulous discussion about how to get information. Here is what we came up with:
We are going to continue to add ways to find information as they come up!
The students decided that using books was the best way to find out what snakes eat. They set off to find answers!
We have learned a lot using books to get information!
