Identifying Body Parts: Water Animals

Overview:

A cut-and-paste activity where students match the names of animal body parts to water animals. Designed for early to middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and label key body parts of water animals.
• Understand how the body parts of water animals help them survive in aquatic environments.
• Develop fine motor skills through cutting and pasting activities.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with images of water animals (turtle, crocodile, dolphin, octopus, stingray) and a set of body part labels. They will cut out the labels and paste them onto the corresponding body parts of each animal. The body parts could include features such as fins, tails, shells, tentacles, and eyes. This activity helps students explore how water animals’ physical adaptations are suited to life in water, fostering an understanding of the relationship between anatomy and environment.
