Slippery, Slimy Snails: A 5-Day Unit Plan for Kids

The slow-moving, spiral-shelled snail can be found leaving a slippery trail through garden leaves, across streams and in shallow puddles alike. These fascinating creatures belong to the mollusk animal classification group , a large group of invertebrates, that all share similar characteristics.

In our five-day unit plan, students will investigate the mysterious world of snails, understanding more about their physical features, vast habitats, plant-based diets, and exploring the various species of snails. Included are five days of engaging lesson plans, vocabulary activities, comprehension questions, children’s book suggestions, interactive worksheets and more!
