Students often become wistful for summer once the school year starts. Why not initiate a seashell classification activity to rekindle their interest in science and learning! Children love to handle and examine shells at any time of the year—with these favorite nature objects, you often can’t get kids to stop talking and sharing their observations about them! Whether working with commercially purchased shells or treasured collections of your own, students will delight in seeing how each shell is unique but can be connected to many others through classifications based on its characteristics.
