SCIENCE WORD OF THE WEEK!
Welcome to class this week! We’re going to learn about the covering that invertebrates have. Do you remember what an invertebrate is? It’s animals with no skeleton!
An exoskeleton is the hard outer covering or external skeleton of an animal. Animals such as arthropods, insects and crustaceans have exoskeletons. Exoskeletons help protect the soft bodies of these animals. Shells are considered exoskeletons.
SCIENCE WORD OF THE WEEK!
It’s Monday and you know what that means- it’s a new week here at the University of E&E! Today we have a great science word of the week for you!
This week’s word is Habitat: is the natural home of animal, plant or other organism. Habitats come in many different sizes, climates and landscapes. Habitats can be small or large! One of my favorite habitats is the rainforest, that’s where we tamanduas live! Every animal and plant has a specific place in its habitat. They fill a need in that area. Do you have a favorite habitat?
Science Word of the Week!
Welcome students! We’ll be holding class on Mondays from now on! Can you think of a better way to start your week? I know I can’t! Let’s get on with this week’s word!
Nocturnal: being active at night. Animals that are nocturnal are primarily active during the evening and night and sleep during the day. Animals have many reasons to be nocturnal; it helps protect them from predators, their prey may be nocturnal too and it helps them avoid the heat of the day.
