  3. Get Out Your Art Supplies! • Crayons or Markers • Glue • Scissors

  4. KWL Flip Chart Fold Paper “hot dog” style Cut two lines You will have three flaps Label each flap “K” – what I Know “W”- what I Wantto Know “L”- what I Learned

  5. KWL Flip Chart Write under the “K” flap FACTS that you already know about Millipedes.

  6. I Want to Know…… • Write 2-3 questions you are curious about millipedes! (Something you don’t already Know) • Write it under the “W” flap!

  7. We We DO NOT Taste!

  8. Use as many senses as possible when observing the millipede.

  9. Do you think a millipede lives on land? Or does it live in water? Or both? • What are the parts of a millipede? • What do you think a millipede feels like when you touch it?

  10. Turn-and-Talk Visualize and explain what a millipede would look like if you saw one outside while you were playing?

  11. Record all the data you collect for your observation on your Observation-Recording Sheet! :

  12. A Fun Fact… Millipedes are nocturnal, which means they are active at night. They are active in the soil/dirt and under leaves on land.

  13. Millipedes

  14. Vocabulary: • Anal Segment- The last segment; it is where waste (in the form of pellets) leaves the body. • Antennae- Two sensory organs (feelers) located towards the front of the millipede. Each antenna is made of seven jointed segments. • Collum- The first segment just behind the head; it protects the rear surface of the head. • Labrum- The area just above the mouth. • Mandibles- These large, toothed cutting surfaces are used for eating; each mandible is made of two segments. • Sternites- The underside of each segment, between the legs, which is relatively unprotected (also called the sternum). When in danger, the millipede curls up, protecting the underside • Tergites- The upper portion of each segment (also called the tergum). The tergum is covered with a hard, protective exoskeleton. • Trunk- The body of the millipede (excluding the head).

  15. Facts: • The millipede is found all over the world but is more common in the southern hemisphere where the millipede has been known to get to nearly 40cm long. • The millipede has a long and narrow body which is made up of segments.

  16. Facts: • The millipede is a medium to large sized invertebrate that is found under rocks and in decaying logs all around the world. • Millipedes are most commonly found in the cooler, damper and darker places within their environment. Millipedes inhabit areas under rocks, in the leaf litter, in rotting logs and occasionally in burrows which are all known as micro-habitats

  17. KWL Flip Chart • What I LEARNED… • Complete your KWL flip chart and write at least 3 things you learned about millipedes and their habitat under the “L” flap.
