Diagrams:
1. Make diagrams of each of the three main Classes of molluscs: bivalves,
gastropods, and cephalopods. Label the four main features of molluscs on each
of the diagrams.
2. Make a diagram of the external anatomy of a grasshopper. Label the important
structures: head, thorax, abdomen, antennae, compound eye, simple eye,
chewing mouthparts, walking legs, wings.
3. Make a diagram of the internal anatomy of a grasshopper. Label the important
structures: mouth, pharynx, crop, caeca, stomach, intestine, rectum, anus,
Malphigian tubules, ventral nerve cord, brain.
4. Make a diagram of a starfish. Label the important structures: ring canal, tube
feet, stomach, anus, digestive caeca, gonads.
5. Make a diagram of an invertebrate chordate, both the larval form and the adult.
Label the important structures: pharynx with slits, notochord, dorsal hollow nerve
cord, mouth, anus, stomach, heart.
