Kids Love Animals

Crustaceans live in the ocean. Some types of crustaceans are crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Crustaceans are an integral part of the food chain and are eaten by many larger ocean animals. Even humans consume crustaceans. Each crustacean has a segmented body and are protected by their hard exoskeleton.

Crustaceans are often studied in a science curriculum along with other ocean animals. The curriculum includes science vocabulary that relates to crustaceans. Along with the vocabulary, teachers enjoy including games and puzzles in their lessons. Practicing with games about crustaceans is helpful to students by reinforcing the material. Another great benefit to these games is the increase in spelling, reading, and retention skills.
