Lesson Objective – Recognising the physical characteristics which make a mini-beast an insect.
To start the lesson, ask students what they previously know about mini-beasts and create a list. Students will then explore special characteristics of a mini-beast via an interactive activity designed to help primary students recognise the features of an insect. Using the dropdown menu students will need to select parts to complete the insect.
State that an insect has 3 body parts – head, thorax and abdomen, 6 legs, wings (usually), antennae, exoskeleton and are small in size. Succeeding, discuss benefits of size, exoskeleton, segmented bodies, 6 legs and their ability to be able to fly.
Question – Is a mini-beast really a mini beast? Describe the words mini and beast, generating class discussion.
