Arthropod Classification Kit

By: Sally DeRoo Science Teacher-Retired, Dexter, MI


You can hardly ignore, and scarcely avoid, a group that comprises 75% of all animals on Earth! This remarkable, totally hands-on activity kit uses simple, inexpensive models to introduce students to the diverse world of arthropods. Each of the major classes is represented in the context of common and unique characteristics. The kit includes 15 arthropods, extensive background information about arthropod diversity, life histories, and classification.
