Arthropods
Use scientific inquiry in this Life Sciences class to learn about the amazing arthropods native to Ohio. Use field sampling techniques to capture arthropods and observe characteristics of the specimens caught. Students will then compare similarities and differences between the classes of each specimen and discuss how these characteristics affect survival of the arthropods.
