Arthropods: Science, Math, Language, Movement, a Great Web Page

Use this amazing package of resources to introduce students to arthropods: insects, spiders, and crustaceans! Audio files, video files, and presentations included with your materials make presenting information to a variety of students fun and easy.

SCIENCE LESSON

Images and a PowerPoint™ presentation introduce arthropods, the most numerous animal on the planet. Then, sort animals by one rule and two rules to practice comparing and contrasting arthropods with other animals.

Read a short text saved in three reading levels in English and two in Spanish or listen to a recordings of the essay.

An introductory PowerPoint™ presentation has been saved as a movie for students who benefit from seeing the information more than once.

Choose from four assessment options that make it easy to assess student understanding: a quick assessment, a pencil-and-paper assessment, a suggestion for the struggling student, and a suggestion for a capable student.

MATH LESSON

Scale images of arthropods up, color, cut, and staple to create a swarm in your classroom! This is a great visual focus for an open house.

LANGUAGE LESSON

Create a book about arthropods. Summaries of two dozen different arthropods saved in English and Spanish help students get started. Pages with an outline of the animal to color and lines for text help students create their pages.

MOVEMENT LESSON

Move like an arthropod. Brainstorm how animals move, watch several short videos, and then run relay races like an arthropod.
