CUSTOM MATERIALS
Smell Like a Snake Activity Sheet (1 per student)


PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Students explore how snakes use vibrations, venom, and their unique tongues to survive and thrive in their environments. During Smell Like a Snake, kids use their “forked tongues” to taste test their way into a better understanding of snake behavior. During Hunt Like a Snake, students learn how snakes detect vibrations in order to track prey and stay safe from predators, and in Viper Venom, students discover how venom works and make their own “sample” providing a deeper understanding of snakes’ powerful adaptations.
