We looked closely at muscles during discovery time. First we saw the muscle shell opening and closing as it filtered water. The shell closes tight when the tide is out so that some water is trapped inside and the shellfish stays wet.
We steamed the muscles open and found the muscles lips, mouth and the large muscles inside that open and shut the shell. We were fascinated when we found the poo tube and its bottom.
We looked closely at the muscle shell and drew the shell, we gave each other feedback and repeated the process several times. The difference between our first and final observational drawings was amazing. We are so much better at looking carefully and drawing what we see.
