Over the past few weeks we have spent some time trying to find answers to our questions about garter snakes. Mrs. Donbrook brought us some interesting books from the library to help us with our research. The Kiddoes were intrigued to learn the difference between fiction and non-fiction books as well as how to use a table of contents! We were able to answer a few of our questions, however, during our reading, we came up with a few more!
Another strategy the Kiddoes suggested for finding information was to look on the computer. We watched a few videos and searched google to see if we could answer some of our questions. We found it extremely interesting how garter snakes use their scales to grip the ground and then use their muscles to move. The Kiddoes had a discussion about which they thought would be more difficult to do, walk or slither in order to get from one place to another. We couldn't figure out an answer so we experimented with both!
