Hands-On Insect Anatomy Lesson Idea
Creating a vibrant, “Pop Art” bug out of Sculpey is a fun, hands-on way for students to incorporate art into their science projects. They learn about different insects, as they form them from bright Sculpey colors. In the end, kids have beautiful, colorful, Pop Art bugs that they made themselves! Teach about insects and their anatomy by having students sketch or draw insects. Sculpey can be used for small details because students can get it very thin without it breaking apart.

Insect Anatomy Clay Creation Lesson
Teach about insects and their anatomy by having students sketch or draw insects and their three main parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. Students can also plan for wings, legs, antennae, etc. Sculpey can be used for small details because students can get it very thin without it breaking apart. Students can easily create patterns, textures, and details by rolling out long "coils" (long snakes), laying them on their insects, and gently pushing them down.
