The seven characteristics of human life, demonstrated with snails.

Director's Notes:

The team from Badminton Junior School wrote:

The film demonstrates the 7 basic characteristics of human life. We used a snail as an example of a living organism and found out some really interesting facts about them in the process. We didn’t know that snails were hermaphrodites for a start. We actually found a pair of snails mating but by the time we fetched a camera it was all over! Watching the spiracle opening to enable the snail to breath was also amazing.

The parts of the mnemonic in the film are:

M — Movement
R — Reproduction
S — Sensitivity
G — Growth
R — Respiration
E — Excretion
N — Nutrition
