Middle school special education students (moderate to severe) learn about insects by playing an entomological version of bingo. They cut out pictures of different bugs and glue them onto a grid. Place the game card inside a sheet protector so dry erase markers can be used to mark off insect squares that have been called. Finish with bug snacks (pretzel butterflies and "bug juice"). Recipes included.
Students read and discuss background information included with this lesson. They brainstorm the best sources for developing a list of native or migratory pollinators. Students work in groups to design habitats based on information garnered through research and interviews. They present their designs to the class and discuss pros and cons of their design. Students build nesting boxes.
Students meet the BugMobile a traveling, interactive exhibit designed to increase public awareness about Integrated Pest Management and minimizing the effects of pesticides on human health and the environment.
Young scholars research different bugs and insects and write letters from bugs' and insects' points of view to humankind.
Students perform a series of investigations about insects. They examine live insects, explore insect-related websites, develop scientific journals and design educational brochures. They research the study of insects as a career.
Students create "Wanted" posters for destructive bugs. They practice research skills as they learn about the characteristics, diets, habitats, and habits of a variety of bugs.
Students view pictures of ladybugs and discuss the word "entomologist." In this entomology activity, students review information about ladybugs, researching an assigned topic in small groups. Students complete a "look what I learned worksheet," present to the class and complete a paragraph explaining why a ladybug is unique.
Students listen to a lecture on cockroaches. They work in pairs to design a cockroach trap and attempt to trap a specimen. They complete various other cockroach-related activities.
In this health worksheet, students research today's scientific methods and identify the difference between standard and electron microscopes. Then they identify the five of the branches of microbiology and insert the correct word in the text that follows.
Students investigate shapes and discover what is similar and different about the shapes. In this bug instructional activity, students relate the classification of the shapes to classification of bugs. Students answer classification questions about bugs.
