Young scholars estimate the density of a population of insects (grasshoppers) at a given life cycle stage in a given type of habitat.

Learners find and classify insects. They collect insects, study them with a hand lens and identify its body parts. Afterwards, they discus various types of insects and thier Orders such as beetles, butterflies and moths, grasshoppers, etc.

Young entomologists construct three types of insect traps—pitfall, pollinator, and panel—before setting their traps out and observing what they caught. They then observe what types of insects the different traps attract.

Students examine grasshoppers as they practice following instructions. In this biology lesson plan, students identify the characteristics of grasshoppers and the functions of grasshoppers' external body parts.

Students explore biology by participating in an insect identification activity. In this grasshopper lesson, students discuss the types of insects who jump high and identify their anatomical parts. Students collect a group of "hopper"...

Young scholars explore grasshoppers. In this grasshoppers lesson plan, students measure the jumping distance of live grasshoppers. Young scholars then record the jumping distance of people in their group. Students record the...

Learners read books, learn about the letter i, and eat raisins that represent ants all to learn about insects. In this insects lesson plan, students also observe an ant farm and play follow the leader.

Students discover the characteristics of insects. They explore insects through cooperative learning, group projects, hands on activities, and poetry. They gain knowledge of insect life cycles, habitat, and physical characteristics.

Students inspect several different specimens of insects and spiders to determine characteristics that are similar and different between the two groups. They identify the basic body structure of spiders and insects and then predict where...

Young scholars use the Internet to examine insects and their relatives. They participate in online games and discover insect recipes.

Students predict, observe, and record what grasshoppers eat to demonstrate an understanding that grasshoppers and people have nutritional requirements to grow and maintain good health.

Students observe walking stick insects. They prepare a habitat for a walking stick. Students discuss the characteristics of these insects. They examine the parts of the body.

Second graders investigate insects and non-insects by creating their own definitions. They complete a series of activities relating to insects.

Learners create instruments to capture different types of insects. In this The Greatest Show on Earth: The World's Smallest Animals lesson, students compare the attributes of certain insects and record the data on a chart. After catching...

Second graders investigate insects. In this parts of a whole, 2nd graders discuss what the three body parts of an insect are as well as the antenna. Students create their own insect labeling each body part and antenna.

Students explore biology by writing fictitious stories in class. In this insect life lesson, students identify many different types of insects in the animal kingdom and the classifications they fall into. Students collect insects on a...

Students explore biology by examining insects up close. In this grasshopper and cricket lesson, students discuss the types of insects that can jump and why it is important they are able to do so. Students examine a grassy field with...

Third graders demonstrate an understanding of the different physical attributes and abilities of arthropods and people by observing, collecting data, and participating in a movement activity.

Students investigate insects. In this insect analysis lesson, students catch insects using nets they make. They identify the insects they catch and create a chart to show the numbers and varieties. This lesson includes a vocabulary list...

Students participate in a variety of cross-curriculur activities in order to explore spiders.

Second graders study the differences between spiders and insects. They observe four different specimens in the classroom.

Third graders investigate how manduca sees and they discuss what they think the manduca might be thinking. They write a story about what an insect sees and does from the insect's perspective.

Students discuss ways that butterflies and moths change during their lifecycles, observe caterpillars, and explore how their different body parts work.

Students study the Venus Flytrap including its habitat and how it eats.  In this ecology lesson students complete several experiments using a Venus Flytrap to see how it reacts to various conditions.
