Grade 7: "Invertebrates of Planet Earth"

Over next three days, we will be wrapping up our invertebrate unit with another look at invertebrates in a seleceted Planet Earth episode.

What types of inverebrates do you find in that habitat?
How are they adapted for survival?

Also, do not forget that the final day for your Science News presentation is this Wednesday. The Science news worksheet can be found in the Resources section of the wiki.
