  1. Insects By Lindsay Bracelen ETCV 411 Teachers Students

  2. What is an Insect? An insect is an arthropod An arthropod is an animal that does not have a back bone! Instead of having bones inside, there bones are on the outside There bodies are hard on the outside, it would be like wearing knight armor There hard bodies are called Exoskeletons

  3. What makes it an insect? • An insect has 6 legs • Insects have 2 antennae (that is how they smell) • Insects have 2 eyes • Insects breathe from tiny wholes along their bodies, these are called spiracles • Some insects have wings • Insects have three separate body parts a head, a thorax, and an abdomen

  4. Parts of the InsectClick on the labels to hear the words Eyes Wings Thorax Antennae Head Legs Spiracles Abdomen

  5. Insects There are approximately 5,000 dragonfly species, 2,000 praying mantis, 20,000 grasshopper, 170,000 butterfly and moth, 120,000 fly, 82,000 true bug, 350,000 beetle, and 110,000 bee and ant species that have been discovered to this date, for a total of more than 925,000 species. It is estimated that there could be as many as 15-30 million species of insects that have yet to be discovered by science. The scientific study of insects is also known as entomology. http://www.livescience.com/insects/

  6. Insect Examples • Ants • Grasshoppers • Ladybug • Beetles • Flies • Butterflies & Moths • Dragonflies • Praying mantis • Bees

  7. Butterfly

  8. Is this an insect? Yes No

  9. Correct You can tell because the insect has 6 legs and antennae.

  10. Incorrect Remember, insects have 6 legs, antennae, 3 body parts, and some have wings. Try again.

  11. Is this an insect? Yes No http://kids.nationalgeographic.com

  12. Is this an Insect? Yes No http://kids.nationalgeographic.com

  13. Correct This spider has more 8 legs and 2 body parts.

  14. Incorrect Insects only have 6 legs, and they have 3 body parts. Try again.

  15. Insects Congratulations You have learned what an insect is. Keep your eyes open they are everywhere!

  16. Welcome Teachers This presentation is designed for your students to understand the characteristics that make up an insect. Students will learn key words and be able to distinguish which animals are insects and which animals are not. Vocabulary Start Activity AZ Standards Exit

  17. Vocabulary Arthropod- a animal, such as insects, that do not have a back bone. Exoskeleton-a hard shell that insects have on the outside of their bodies. Antennae-insects way of smelling. Spiracles-wholes along the insects body that allows them to breath. Thorax-the middle segment of the insects body. Abdomen-the last segment of the insects body. Entomology-the study of insects.

  18. Arizona State Content StandardsScience Grade 1 http://www.ade.state.az.us/standards/contentstandards.asp Strand 4: Life Science Life Science expands students’ biological understanding of life by focusing on the characteristics of living things, the diversity of life, and how organisms and populations change over time in terms of biological adaptation and genetics. This understanding includes the relationship of structures to their functions and life cycles, interrelationships of matter and energy in living organisms, and the interactions of living organisms with their environment. Concept 1: Characteristics of Organisms Understand that basic structures in plants and animals serve a function. PO 2. Compare the following observable features of living things: movement – legs, wings protection – skin, feathers, tree bark respiration – lungs, gills support – plant stems, tree trunks PO 3. Identify observable similarities and differences (e.g., number of legs, body coverings, size) between/among different groups of animals.

  19. Technology Standards http://www.ade.state.az.us/standards/contentstandards.asp STANDARD 6: TECHNOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR PROBLEM SOLVING AND DECISION-MAKING Students use technology to make and support decisions in the process of solving real-world problems. • 6T-F1. Use technology resources for problem solving, self-directed learning and extended learning activities PO 1. Based on a class-defined problem, use technology to: a) collect data b) interpret data c) express a solution to the problem PO 2. Based on a problem selected by the student, use technology to: a) collect data b) interpret data c) express a solution to the problem
