Description: In each of four recordings, we will study a group of "bugs" that have some striking similarities to Pokémon. We will examine several different types of arthropods and their characteristics, including insects (butterflies, bees, ants, beetles, etc.), arachnids (spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions, etc.), and myriapods (centipedes and millipedes). Students will practice comparing and contrasting creatures from the Arthopod phylum when reading/listening to descriptions about them, viewing pictures side-by-side, and watching video clips of insect behavior and life cycles. We will also learn how to create and use a Venn Diagram as a comparison tool. Students can also design their own insect-like Pokémon.Recording 1:Introduction to taxonomyBasic characteristics of the phylum ArthropodaDefining characteristics of the Class InsectaThe insect orders not included as PokemonOrder Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths)Recording 2:Order Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies)Order Neuroptera (net-winged insects)Order Diptera (flies and mosquitos)Order Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps)Recording 3:Order Hemiptera (true bugs)Order Orthoptera (crickets and grasshoppers)Order Mantodea (praying mantises)Order Phasmatodea (stick insects)Order Blattodea (cockroaches)Order Coleoptera (beetles)Recording 4:The defining characteristics of the Class ArachnidaThe different types of Arachnids: ticks, scorpions, spiders, harvestmenCharacteristics of MyriapodsThe differences and similarities of millipedes and centipedesIntroduction to the Three Circle Venn Diagram<
