Don't Bug Me
Your task is to choose an animal and identify it using the pictures on the 'Animal scientific names' chart. Use the classification table supplied to determine the common name of the animal. You will need to record information on the worksheet.
If you find an animal that is not on either charts, you have made a new discovery. Follow the instructions on your worksheet.
* video will be added soon
Extension Task
Museums display pinned and preserved animals such as insects, especially butterflies, and arachnids (spiders) so we can learn about them.
Entomology is the study of insects and generally speaking often also includes spiders because arachnology is a very small area.
Watch the video showing how to pin a specimen and see if you can pin one too.
Don't forget to write your name on the worksheet and get all the completed sections signed by your teacher to collect points.
