Name ___________________________________________________________ Edible Insect Design Brief Background In science we have been learning about insects. All insects have six legs and three main body parts. They have a head, a middle part called the thorax, and a back part called the abdomen. They also have two feelers on their head called antennae. Challenge Today you will be creating an edible insect. Criteria * Your insect must have three body parts (head, thorax and abdomen) * Your insect must have six legs. * Your insect must have two antennae. * Your insect must have two eyes. * The insect must stay together. Materials * paper plates (one per child) *craft sticks (one per child) - use as a knife * icing (everyone needs some – holds the insect together) * large size white marshmallows * pretzel sticks * graham crackers * red twizzlers (pull apart kind) * large gum drops * plain potato chips * skittles * chocolate chips * grapes * any other food materials Restate the challenge in your own words _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________
