Going Buggy!
Here are two fun songs to get you started:
Insect Bodies
By Victoria Smith
(Tune: If You're Happy and You Know
It)
Every insect's body has three parts.
Yes, every insect's body has three
parts.
Every insect has a head,
A thorax and abdomen,
Every insect's body has three parts.
Every insect's body has six legs.
Yes, every insect's body has six
legs.
They have three legs on each side
And they walk on them with pride.
Every insect's body has six legs.
Insect Parts
(Tune: It Ain't Gonna Rain No More)
An insect has three body parts,
No more, no less than three:
Head and thorax, abdomen -
It sure makes sense to me!
The head has mouthparts well designed
And compound eyes as well.
Antennae sense the world around:
They feel and hear and smell.
The thorax is where legs are joined
Three pairs, six legs in all;
To fly or jump or crawl.
The abdomen is where are found
The systems that it needs
To breathe, to reproduce, digest
The food on which it feeds.
An insect has three body parts,
No more, no less than three:
Head and thorax, abdomen -
It sure makes sense to me!
