Snail

After the discussion, they read more about what snails eat and read more books on snails thus engaging into a cognitive learning experience and interaction with language and social and emotional development as a…

him. She took a few steps back to avoid getting sprayed. “It looks really—fun, but we’re—on a time schedule?” She looked at Apple Bloom and me. We nodded. ‘Time schedule’ was, indeed, a word. Scootaloo looked back at Snails. “Yeah, on a tight time schedule!” “Thin calendar?” Snails raised both eyebrows and looked under our hooves. Apple Bloom facehoofed. Scootaloo’s eyes opened wide, she shook her head. “Not on a calendar. On a mission! We are on a…

Biomphalaria glabrata is a freshwater snail that originates from Central and South America. The NMRI strain of Biomphalaria glabrata exhibits albinism. The snails’ albinism makes them transparent, which provides the opportunity to observe their circulatory anatomy and physiology. They lay eggs in masses, with 2-30 eggs per mass. The eggs go through several developmental stages. First, they are fertilized. Each egg contains a single embryo, which then begins to grow. Each embryo measures…

Caveman logic constantly pervades our lives. Humanity believes in anything from supposed coincidences to spiritual healing without a second thought. The logic that our ancestors used has tainted our ways of thinking, and has taken us farther from evolutionary progress. We cannot exclude ourselves from being susceptible to this flawed system of thinking due to its overwhelming presence in today’s world. Caveman logic is not something that I am exempt from, having turned to it for a large portion…

didn’t really do that. Snail is a cool senior, but his skills in class are lacking. This is why his relationship with Lyla originally formed. I took this into consideration during my final revision. She is leaving and Snail knows that. He is paranoid and insecure about his life without her, so he lashes out. This is the template for the breakup and the conflict. Originally I wrote that the hug was nearly seen by Snail, which gives Lyla the impetus to break up with him. Now, Snail witnesses the…

composition Vyse modelled for viewing in the round. The figure’s height is 8¼ inches (22cms), a size that permitted Vyse a greater scope to model an anatomically correct depiction of his subject. The subject, a boy-faun sits astride the shell of a large snail seen making its way across a cabbage leaf, most possibly its breakfast. Vyse demonstrates his skill in the modelling of muscular and underlying skeletal structure of the human figure. The arms are particularly well delineated showing the…

Hepatopancreas cadmium concentrations Land snails are considered to serve as 'macroconcentrator' species for Cd given their exceptional ability to accumulate it in their tissues far above environmental levels (Dallinger et al., 1993). Several studies have examined the retention of dietary Cd in the soft tissues of C. aspersus under laboratory conditions, but not at exposure levels below 0.2 mg kg-1 DW (Russell, DeHaven & Botts, 1981; Laskowski & Hopkin, 1996; de Vaufleury et al., 2006). The…

Mandë Holford hopes to one day use venom from deadly snails to kill pain in human beings. This is the gist of headlines preceding articles based on Holford’s current research published by NPR and PBS. However, Holford's publications of her research tend to have less explosive and technical names such as “Characterization of Shared Pigments in Colorful Avian and Mollusk Shells” and “A Novel Bioactive Peptide Toxin from Terebrid Marine Snails”. For this case study Holford’s research paper titled…

2.0 Experimental Approach Predatory cone snails (genus Conus) produce a rich array of venoms that collectively contain an estimated 100,000 small, disulfide-rich peptides (i.e., conotoxins, or conopeptides). Over the last few decades, the conopeptides have revealed a remarkable diversity of pharmacological function and utility. An evolutionary rationale for the existence of such a large and pharmacologically diverse set of gene products can be premised on the complexity of intra- and…

Part A: Video 1 clay Planning will usually begin from observations of the children’s interests, strengths, needs, and behaviours (Ministry of Education n.d.) Clay worms & snails: Intention of experience: Fine motor and gross motor muscles, social communication, identifying shapes, experimenting with texture & form, 3D sculpture, use of moulds, Literacy: Teacher to use descriptive language on the properties of clay such as, body, bone dry, coiling, crock, greenware, jolley, kidney leather…
