Seashells in Schools 

Molluscan Science aims to promote the study and fascination of seashells in schools.

How can we trigger fascination and admiration for nature in a kid that grows up with tablet computers and virtual reality?

 

At times when children are brought up in a semi-sterile, superveilled urban environment, in a society that is more and more estranged from nature, it is important to raise an interest in the environment and conservation in the next generation. We have launched a teaching unit for 6th graders to trigger fascination and the awareness for nature, with "shells in hands."
