Exo-Explosion!!!

I learned that exoskeletons are kinda like shells on turtles and tortoises. A bunch of bugs have exoskeletons, even dragonflies! They have exoskeletons because, if they're strong enough, they can protect them from explosions!

If someone is inside a robot, they are inside an exoskeleton, which protects them. Suits of armor on knights and soldiers and all sorts of army people have exoskeletons on.

  1. That's cool, Conner! I never thought about people wearing exoskeletons! I wonder what you could make the strongest exoskeleton out of...?

  2. Probably the strongest exoskeleton would be made out of metal mixed up with plastic. 'Cause plastic is hard to break, and metal hardly ever breaks.

  3. I'm with Lyd, Connerbug. Don't know if I've ever thought about people WEARING exoskeletons...
    Guess that just goes to show me that people can learn all sorts of stuff just by being observant. ...kind of amazing to think we could learn how to protect ourselves from explosions by studying bugs!
