Title: Classification of Animals – Insects
Aim: To draw and label the external dorsal features of the cock roach of the genus Blaberus.
Apparatus/Reagent/Material: Chloroform, hand lens, cock roach, pins, cardboard
Method:
1. Collect a cockroach and put it in a bottle with cotton wool soaked in chloroform for 30mins.
2. Take the cockroach out and place it on the board with the dorsal side up, with one elytron and one wing extended.
3. Place two pins against the base of the elytron and the wing.
4. Draw the dorsal view of the cockroach and label the following features:
a) Head with *antennae and compound eyes
b) The thorax
c) Jointed legs
d) Wings: * Elytron & flying wings.
e) Abdomen with division
f) *Spiracles
5. Annotate the structure with “*”
Observation: **insert labeled drawing of cockroach here**
**Remember to measure the length (in cm) of the cockroach and record your measurement at the back of page. (this information will be needed to calculate the magnification)**
