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.
