Insect or Spider Sort - Identifying Insects & Arachnids - Assessment
This resource is a PDF file of an Insect or Spider? sort where students have to sort out different types of insects or spiders and sort them into the two different groups.
This resource is four pages long. The first page provides the table for students to glue the pictures into. The second page contains all of the insect and spider pictures (black and white) the students need to sort. The third page has the same insect and spider pictures but this time in colour. The last page is an answer sheet for the teacher.
You can choose whether you would like to use the black and white pictures or the colour ones. We thought this would be helpful for teachers that don’t have access to a colour photocopier or may have limits on how much colour photocopying they can do.
This resource could also be used as an assessment activity.
