We will look at and identify a variety of interesting insects and learn what characteristics make an insect an insect (or not!) with an interactive slide show. We will learn the main characteristics of insects: they have three body parts, two antennae, and six legs. Those body parts are the head, thorax, and abdomen. To support remembering these terms, we will learn two fun and interactive songs which will help students remember how to classify an insect. We will then look at a number of colorful crawly critters to decide: IS it an insect? Spoiler alert: a spider is NOT an insect! Questions, participation and movement are encouraged, especially during the songs!
Learning Goals
Students will be able to classify an insect vs. a non-insect by the end of class.Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be learning two songs that will incorporate movement. While these may be performed sitting in a chair, you may wish to encourage your learner to get up and move a bit during the song. If you so choose, please clear an area near the computer so your learner can safely move without any obstructions and encourage them to stretch and drink water when appropriate.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
