Florida's Protected Tree Snail: Let’s Make a Pastapod!:

Florida has enacted strict laws and rules for responsible citizens to follow to protect its native plants and animals. For instance, the Florida Tree Snail, also known as the “Living Jewel” because of its brightly colored shell, is protected by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Rule 68A-4.001, which prohibits removing the snails from their native habitat or disturbing them in any way. After learning about the Florida Tree Snail and why its numbers are decreasing, students will manipulate clay, paint, and different types of pasta to create their own 3-D Tree Snail sculpture.
