Your job in this activity is to pick an ocean environment (arctic, antarctic, coral reef, etc), and then build your own crustacean. It must:

1. be an arthropod with an exoskeleton and jointed legs

2. have at least one environmental adaptation to help it survive in its environment, and

3. show your effort, creativity, and understanding of the environment

examples of adaptations:

length of legs

color

ability to dig

ability to survive extreme cold water

types and size of claws

antennae

where it lives

specialized organs

swimming ability, or other types of movement

Use the materials provided to make your arthropod.

Name your crustacean using binomial nomenclature.

Explain its adaptations.
