What makes an insect special and different from other bugs and crawly things? Throughout this class students will learn the defining characteristics of insects through discussion, games, song, and hands-on modeling. Students will hone the important science skills of observation and classification while having fun. After we learn the parts of an insect, observe and compare different creatures and sing together, I will model how I might invent my own insect by building a model out of common...
Students will be able to identify the five body parts of an insect: 3 body parts, 6 legs, 2 antennae, compound eyes, sometimes wings. Students will be able to observe bugs and identify which are classified specifically as insects.
As an elementary science teacher and naturalist I have shared this lesson and activity with learners for almost 20 years, and it is always fun for me and a big hit with the kids.
To build insect models you will want to gather materials from around the house. Some items that work well are: egg cartons, construction paper, toothpicks, q-tips, pipe-cleaners, googly eyes, popsicle sticks, toilet paper or paper towel tubes, fabric scraps. Anything will work, the only limit is your learner's creativity!
