Sonia Tomas · Ocean View Junior High School, Oxnard

Overview

Objectives/Goals My goal is to make a formula that will kill snails but will not harm the dogs. Then cover snail pellets with the formula and test the snail pellets on snails and dogs.My hypothesis is that the snail pellets will kill the snails but not harm the dogs. Methods/Materials The formula is made of dog biscuits, green leaves, eggshells, garlic, and salt. Then I covered snail pellets with the formula and tested them on snails and dogs. I had groups of snails and some dogs. I gave them some of the snail pellets I made. Results The snails all died after trying my snail pellets.Then, all the dogs didn't like the snail pellets.The reason why this happened was that the snail pellets contained materials that dogs hated and that snails like and hate. Conclusions/Discussion In conclusion, the snails died and the dogs didn't like the snail pellets.So, my pellets did work.Finally, my hypothesis was right,the snails did die but the dogs didn't like the snail pellets.
