  1. Lesson 9: Observing the Millipedes More Closely Question: What characteristics of the millipede help it to survive in its natural habitat? Hypothesis: (Predict & share) Plan: Observe the features of the millipede using a hand lens (in a tank and in a cup)

  2. Adapted from Record Sheet 4A Observation: Observation Chart

  3. Draw an illustration of the Millipede.

  4. Characteristics of Arthropods Video

  5. *Complete/Incomplete Metamorphosis: • Metamorphosis is called complete when there is no suggestion of the adult form in the larval stage, e.g., in the transformation from tadpole to frog or from larva to pupa to adult in bees and butterflies. • When the successive larval stages resemble the adult (as in the grasshopper and the lobster), metamorphosis is called incomplete.

  6. Millipedes • Found in North American woodlands as well as deserts • Long segmented trunk • Round head with antennae pair for feeling, smell, and taste • Two pairs of legs attached to most segments • Vary in color—black, brown, some are vividly colored • Avoid light—some are blind • Play dead when distrubed • Defense mechanism—stink glands • May live for several years

  8. Lesson 10: How Do the Animals Respond to a Change in Their Habitats? Question: How will the FROGS respond to a change in the light of their habitat? Hypothesis: If we change the lighting of the frogs’ habitat, I think   Plan: Design a plan. Observation: Describe what you observed. Conclusion: Reflection/ Next Steps:

  11. Lesson 11: Observing Humans Closely • Question: How well does school meet our basic needs? • Complete the My Habitat Sheet Record Sheet 11A (TH-15) in small groups and be prepared to share. • Share observations. • Update Habitat Information Table

  12. HABITAT INFO CHART

  13. Lesson 12: Researching Animal Behavior • Question: What behaviors of the frog, crab, and millipede could we study? • Record Sheet 12-A • Respond to part B based on the research question below: How often does the crab go into the water?

  14. Lesson 13 (Part 1) What Makes an Animal Special? • Question: What specific characteristics of humans that enable them to survive in a variety of habitats? • Discuss human structures and behaviors and how they relate to habitats • Continue research • Use Record Sheet 13A

  15. Humans- Structures and Behaviors

  16. Lesson 14 (Part 2): What Makes an Animal Special? Lesson 14 Blackline Masters Tying it all together • Identify structures/behaviors needed for survival • Reading selections give students more information on each of three animals studied • Use observations to support information from reading

  17. Lesson 15: There's No Place Like Home COMPARING ANIMALS Compare the frog, crab, millipede, and humans. Each team will choose a characteristic to compare.

  18. Reading Selection: What Makes Beavers Special? Read the selection and answer the following questions. What special characteristics do beavers have that help them survive in their habitats? In what ways to beavers change their surroundings so that they can survive? What other animals can change their surroundings so that they can survive?

  19. Lesson 16: Presenting Our Research

  20. Lesson 17: Post-Unit Assessment
