Insects
The Insects Module (6 activities) introduces students to the life
sequences of a number of insects. Darkling beetles, milkweed bugs, wax
moths, silk moths, painted lady butterflies, crickets, and ants are a few
of the organisms observed over time. Students observe and compare insect
structures and behaviors in different stages of the life cycle, discuss
and record findings, and pose questions to be resolved. Students
experience complete and simple insect metamorphosis and are introduced to
a sampling of the diversity in the animal kingdom.
