Insects and Spiders

We are learning about animal classification during our science time over the next few weeks. This week, we learned how to identify insects and spiders! Thank you to everyone who sent in egg cartons! We used these to make models of insects, connecting the legs to the "thorax" and the antennae to the "head".

I'm no artist, but they served their puroses! The labels are removeable and we have fun placing them in the correct places.

Insect creation involves intense concentration.

Carefully placing the legs.

They have to be bent at just the right angle...

Eeek! It's a colony of creepy crawly insects!
