How minibeasts move
小型无脊椎动物的运动方式
Description
How minibeasts move: crawling (ants, beetles), flying (butterflies, bees), slithering (worms, slugs), jumping (grasshoppers, fleas), burrowing (earthworms). Counting legs as a first step toward grouping creatures.
Mastery Evidence
- Describe at least three different ways minibeasts move such as crawling, flying, and slithering
- Match a minibeast to its way of moving, for example grasshoppers jump and worms slither
- Count legs on a minibeast and notice that ants have six while spiders have eight
Assessment Prompt
Can your child watch a few minibeasts and describe how each one moves differently — like ants crawling, butterflies flying, and worms wriggling?
