Instructional Ideas
- Pose the closing discussion question on a classroom blog, and encourage learners to respond to the question and then to their peers
- Search the Internet for a live stream of insects that class members can observe instead of bringing live insects into the classroom
- Allow pupils to work individually or in small groups for those that require support
Classroom Considerations

- The use of live insects is optional
Pros
