Insect Science Project

We have been studying Insects in science. We are studying different attributes insects have and environments they live in.

What makes an insect an insect? An insect must have two antennae, three body parts (head, thorax, and abdomen) and six legs.

 

Students are required to design, make or create a three dimensional representation of an insect using available materials.

Be ready to explain and share how you made your insect.

Students will be graded on how well they show their use of understanding of the insect and explaining it to the class, as well as their creativity.

Due: January 30th

Don’t forget to give your insect a name. Have fun and be creative!

Enjoy, relax and let your imagination flow.

 

  1. All body parts must connect to other body parts correctly. For instance, the antennae must connect to the head.

This model must be well-constructed and sturdy.

Insect model must include the following:

*3 distinguishable body parts labeled

*6 legs

*2 antennae

*2 or more eyes *Mouth parts

*Optional wings

Parents: The more the children do on their own, the more they will learn!
