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 household materials. Students will then be set loose to raid the craft and recycling bin for materials to invent their own insect with the specific characteristics we have learned about during class. Students will leave the class with the ability to list and identify the five unique characteristics of an insect's body.
Learning Goals
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.
Other Details
Supply List
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!
External Resources
