Parts of an Insect

Dear Parents, We are currently studying insects in science.Our main focus in on the parts on the insect. The parts we are working on are:

1. Head

2. Legs

3. Abdomen

4. Thorax

5. Wings

Learning about insects and their parts is a part of our science TEKS (Texas Knowledge and Skills). Students should be able to observe and describe parts on insects.



The following are some websites that you and your child can explore together. All of the sites are based on the topic of insects and their parts.

At Butterfly Facts, read about the parts of the butter fly and what they do. Move your arrow over the butterfly picture to view the labeled butterfly parts. This is neat.

This one is great! At the Seek 'n Find, try to find the name of all you favorite bug ans insects. There are not just insects listed so try to find those names first. I bet you can do it.

This one's simple. At the Dragonfly puzzle, all you need to do is put he puzzle together. Just simply move the puzzle pieces where you want them and connect together. What a cool picture it makes!

Have a great time learning about insects and their parts. It is so much fun to explore together, there will be more soon.
