Arthropods+at+the+HMNH

 Hi my name is BDCfor life, I have been to the  [|Harvard Museum of Natural History].I'm in the 6th grage at the [|Amigos School.] I’m doing this wiki because I want people around the world to know more about arthropods. As you can see I’m doing this wiki on arthropods. The field trip was to the Harvard Museum of Natural History (HMNH) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They had an exhibit on arthropods and it was awesome to see.

I went to the Harvard Museum of Natural History. We walked there in the cold to the museum. In a museum there is usually no biotic life.There was glass, models of the animals and wood those were the main abiotic things there. I read the captions, the boards and the TV with information. That’s how I got this information,My topic is arthropods, when we were at the Museum.

The arthropods belong to the kingdom of Animalia. That Means they are consumers, which are living things that have to get their own food. The Phylum is Invertebrates that means they have no bones. All arthropods have an exoskeleton. The major classes of arthropods are Crustaceans, Insects and Spiders. They have been on earth for 600 million years. Arthropods represents 80%of the animals on earth! The arthropods could be on the level of the decomposers or on the primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers.

My topic is arthropods. Something’s I learned about arthropods are is that their phylum is invertebrates, they are 80% of animals on earth, arthropods have been living on earth for 600 mya (600 million years). I was surprised to figure out that arthropods live in water. I didn’t know that lobsters and crabs were arthropods. The field trip was awesome we saw all kinds of things like skeletons, skulls, and many things more. I wish we could go soon Check out my cool web
