This resource includes instructions, background information, and printable pages for an activity on insect adaptations. There are 3 example insects for each category, featuring a colorful original illustration: wings, mouthparts, and legs (9 insects total). After printing out the images and title cards, the images can be mounted on a poster or trifold display board. Then, students can try to match up adaptations to the images. This activity works well for outreach programs, summer camps, museu
Why are there so many insects? Two pieces of the puzzle are: evolution with plants, and metamorphosis. This PDF can be printed double sided as a worksheet. There are background facts, definitions in bold type, questions, and original illustrations. Third page is an answer key. Enjoy! Brigette Zacharczenko, PhD a.k.a. WeirdBugLady
