Concepts
There are many
different types of
crustaceans. Crabs,
lobsters, shrimp,
prawns, and barnacle are
some types of
crustaceans.
Crustaceans share many
of the same physical
characteristics, but some
have unique features of
their own. All animals
including crustaceans
have special needs that
ensure their survival.

Summary
Students will have the opportunity to work with live hermit crabs in
their classroom. They will learn what it takes to keep a hermit crab,
as well as, all other animals happy and healthy in their habitat.
Objectives
• Students will discover the four basic things that all animals
need to survive.
• Students will be able to identify the abiotic and biotic
components of a hermit crabs sandy shore habitat.
• Students will be able to describe how hermit crabs are
adapted to live on the sandy shore habitat.
Materials
Activity 1: Habitat Huddle
1 large piece of chart paper or board in front of classroom
Activity 2: Crustacean Drawing
5-10 pictures or specimens (can be bought at the market or just use
toy models) of different types of crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters,
hermit crabs, and shrimp.
2 pieces of chart paper
drawing paper for each student
1 pair of plastic gloves per student
Making Connections
Students may recall seeing different types of crustaceans during visits
to the sandy shore. Learning about the different kinds of crustaceans
and how they are similar or different will help students identify the
various adaptations and characteristics that make the sandy shore a
suitable habitat for some and not for others.
Teacher Prep for Activity
Activity 1: Habitat Huddle
Make a habitat huddle chart. You could use either the board in front
of your class or a piece of white chart paper and hang it up in the
front.
Activity 2: Crustacean Drawings
Find 5-10 pictures of different crustaceans. Make a chart titled
Crustacean Body Parts on paper or the board. Under the title make
two columns: on the left side write “Parts All Crustaceans Have” and
on the right side write “Special Parts Only Some Crustaceans Have”.
Write out the key concepts from the end of this lesson on a piece of
chart paper.

Crustacean Critters

Background (for teacher)

All crustaceans share some similar characteristics. Crustaceans are a type of arthropods, like insects. They are all invertebrates meaning that they do not have a backbone. All crustaceans have 10 legs (some have less than 10, like crayfish). They have hard outer coverings called exoskeletons that are used to protect themselves from predators. The exoskeleton is not a shell but rather a hard outside skeleton. This hard crusty outside is how they got the name crustacean. They also have jointed legs and segmented bodies. There are many different types of crustaceans including shrimp, crabs, lobster, prawns, and barnacles. Most of them live in the ocean or in fresh water like a pond. However, some have adapted to live on the land. All crustaceans have two pairs of antennae , a three-part body including a head, thorax, and abdomen. Crabs are one type of crustacean that has five pairs of legs (10 total). The first pair of their legs are their large pincers. They usually move sideways but can move in all directions. There are two different groups of crabs: true crabs and false crabs. Hermit crabs are false crabs because they have different physical characteristics than true crabs. For example, they do not have the hard outer exoskeleton. The main difference is that hermit crabs use shells to protect their bodies.

Procedure

Activity 1: Habitat Huddle (This should take ~30 minutes) Main Question: What does it take to be a crab?

  1. To begin the activity, read, define, and write the new vocabulary words on your sandy shores vocabulary list (HINT: you may need to consult the background for the next lesson if you are not sure of the definitions). Be sure that the students understand that a habitat is a home that includes everything that an animal needs to survive.
  2. Put the students into groups of 2 and have them spread out throughout the classroom where they feel comfortable. Assign each student either #1 or #2.
  3. Explain that you will be asking them questions and that each person will have a chance to share their answers and ideas. Buddy #1 will answer first while Buddy #2 listens and then shares Buddy #1’s ideas with the rest of the class. Then they will switch roles.
  4. Ask Buddy #1 the first question from the list below. Give them 30-60 seconds to talk about their ideas to Buddy #2.
  5. Ask Buddy #2’s to share those ideas with the rest of the class and list them in words or pictures on your habitat huddle chart that you hung in front of the class.
  6. Switch roles and remind the students that only one person talks while the other listens. Pose question #2 for Buddy #2 to answer. Give them 30-60 seconds and then ask them to share, again listing their responses on the chart.
  7. Repeat steps 4-8 until all the questions have been asked and responses have been recorded on the chart. _List of Questions:
  8. What things do animals need to have in their habitat in order to survive?_ _(food, water, shelter, mate, plants, air, etc.)
  9. We are studying the sandy shore habitat. What are some animals that might live there?_ _Describe what one of those animals looks like.
  10. Imagine that you are a crab that lives on a sandy shore. Describe what your home might_ look like.

Crustacean Critters Pagoo by Holling Clancy This book provides an excellent story about a hermit crab named Pagoo. It tells the story of Pagoo as he grows and learns about life in the sea. The illustrations alone can provide the students with a lot of information about hermit crabs.
