Parts of the Sea Star Vocabulary

These cards feature a species of sea star known as the Caribbean starfish. It is the perfect critter to study. You can actually see it's brightly colored tubed feet that propel it through the water and its tiny tentacles at the end of each arm. Scan through these cards and discover each of the key parts of its external anatomy. The photos include the featured part in full-color while the rest of the image fades into muted shades of gray. For the first time, it is really clear what we want them to focus on!

Presenting more advanced terminology, these vocabulary cards are a perfect match for the cards in our "Parts of" 3-Part Cards and Definition Books. Use these along with the books and Definition Cards for an interactive build-a-book reading comprehension activity.
