Arthropods+6B

Hi! My name is T T and I’m a sixth grade student at the [|Amigos School] in [|Cambridge], Massachusetts. My class and I have visited many ecosystems in the Boston area. We took many notes to show you. I went to the [|Harvard Museum of Natural History] and there we learned about Arthropods and how they were the first living things on earth. We observed many Arthropods. We saw crabs, scorpions, millipedes, pill bugs, butterflies but they were dead and in a preservative liquid. We had so much fun that we made a wiki to remember it. . The[|Harvard Museum of Natural History] is located in Harvard. We walked to Harvard Square and took a left on Oxford St. It was cold outside it was like 28 degrees. When we got in we were so happy because it was warm in the museum. The Museum didn’t only have Arthropods it has The Human Evolution Lab and echibits about the Mayas, Aztecs, ect. Check out my arthropod web and pyramid.

Arthropods can be primary, secondary and tertiary consumers. They’re in the Animal Kingdom. They have been on earth for 600 million year and represent 80% of all animal species on Earth. Arthropods' characteristics are external skeleton, a segmented body, and jointed attachments called appendages. Wings, mouthparts, and legs are appendages. An Arthropod has a exoskeleton, or outer skeleton to protect it. An arthropods exoskeleton are made of a material called chitin (KY tin). Crabs,lobsters, spiders, butterflies, and a praying mantis are all arthropods!

Arthropods are very cool. They have been on earth longer than any human has been. Remember if you see a colony of ants, please don't get them mad because they can conquer us if they all turned on us.. Thank you for reading my page and arthropods are cool.
