Going Buggy!

First Graders will engage in an ongoing unit on insects from now through the end of the year.  We'll be observing, catching, and documenting growth/changes (metamorphosis).  These mealworms are just the start.  Cool!

Ok, you learn something new every day.  Until I taught this unit, my students and I did not know mealworms are not worms, and that mealworms morph into darkling beetles.  Wow, who knew?!
