Isaac has been studying biology for science this year. The current unit has been breaking down the animal kingdom into phylums. Along with tedious memorizing, there was a lab on the mollusks. I knew the girls would want to participate too, so I bought 4 clams from Lu Lu's. Isaac made copies of the lab so the girls could draw and label the clam parts, but after the mantle and foot, they became too focused on poking, prodding, and pulling to make notes with increasingly goopy hands.
Isaac's knife is pointing to the stomach. He found gills, intestine, siphon and more. They did not want clams for dinner.
When I finished going over the lab with Isaac, I saw what Jess had studiously been working on: writing her name with clam guts.
This is her whole plate.
