THE ARTHROPOD STORY

1. How do we determine if the living things are successful?
  
ANSWER: I believe that you can tell if the arthropod is thriving if it is still repopulating and has not gone extinct and have adapted to there environment.
  
2. In your opinion are arthropods a success?

ANSWER: I believe that arthropods are a success because they haven't become extinct there are many different species.

3. Why aren't arthropods as big as a whale?

ANSWER: Because there exoskeleton would be to big and heavy witch means it would be very slow and could not get the amount of oxygen to survive.

project

The Arthropod project


My class has recently embarked on a project where we make many drafts of a arthropod and then we copy the insect on a large piece of ply-wood after that we will hang the final draft of the Arthropod on the out side of our school.

Those are some of my Argentine ant drafts now I am waiting to cut them on ply-wood


What characteristics do arthropods have in common ?!?!
-I know that they have an exoskeleton and chitin and an open circulatory system and also segmented bodies and jointed legs.







1st draft
This is my first draft I  kind of failed and made the legs and head really bad. 



3rd draft 

This was my third and final draft on paper it was a great i added color and better detail.
