3. Living Things
We looked for insects around the school and recorded them in the classroom. Insects are part of a bigger animal group called arthropods. The word Arthropod literally means jointed limbs. The arthropods are the first animal group to have jointed legs. Insects have certain characteristics. They have six legs. They have three body parts, a head, a thorax and an abdomen. They have wings. They are by far the largest animal group. They also have an outer or exoskeleton made of a substance called chitin.
In this video we investigate earwigs, centipedes and woodlice.
In this clip Lee tells us about beetles while Martin gives some interesting points on spiders.
