I gave him a piece of string to show him the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates.
Lesson 21 Arthropods
We made a bug out of a wine cork and 3 toothpicks broken in half. Then, I rubbed it on a bar of soap.
When you put it in a bowl of cold water, the insect will skim the water.
Lesson 22 Insects
We made a dragonfly.
Lesson 23 Insect metamorphosis
1st he painted a piece of an egg carton and then we put it on a coffee filter. This makes it a butterfly.
Then, put it inside a paper towel rod, now you have a cocoon. When you pull it out, you go from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
Lesson 24 Arachnids
I gave him a piece of black construction paper and had him make a spider web.
Lesson 25 Crustaceans
Crab made with a cd.
Lesson 26 Myriapods
Blessings!!
