Arthropod Activities

Today you will be doing a lab activity that has you identifying the different characteristics of arthropods.  From those characteristics you will determine what class each arthropod belongs too.

To begin you will use the handout given to you to write down the characteristics from the arthropods pictures presented here:  Arthropod Lab Pictures

Upon completion you will be directed to go to this website, Arthropod site to go through many activities that reinforce the learning targets of arthropod, animal symmetry, and others.  Go through each different link and thoroughly read each section.  Take your time.

  • After you complete the activity write a paragraph that answers these questions.
    1. What did you already know about arthropods that was in the activity?
    2. What were two things that you didn't know that really surprised you about arthropods?
    3. What questions do you still have about arthropods?
