Part 1: Building the model
In this part, students will work in groups to build and label a clay model of the digestive system of insects. They will create structures such as the crop, gizzard, esophagus, intestine, and more.
 
Part 2: Parts and Function
In this part, students will match parts of the insect digestive system to their correct functions.
 
 
I truly believe this resource will be a great addition to your invertebrate anatomy unit. Your students will be mentally and physically engaged as they explore the complex anatomy of these simple organisms. The resource requires very little prep time, which saves the teacher valuable time.
