Science By Design

Mrs. Hartman loves slugs however there are few slugs at Cedar Wood Elementary. In fact she really does not know how many slugs there are. She only knows that as she walks across the courtyard she never sees any slugs and that makes her very unhappy. Can you design an area in the courtyard that would attract slugs?
What are all of the steps involved?? What would you need to consider first?How many are in the area already?? Do a count----

Research needs to be done. What slugs eatWhy they might want to come to the areaWhat would attract them to the area Plan the area with plants that will attract slugs-Take Action-Plant themWaitRecount how many slugs are in the area now? Decide if the number of slugs in the area is what you want- Plant more plants Add more or different types of plants to attract more slugsCount again One last count- Happy with the results- celebrate successSlugfest!!!
