Middle schoolers examine insects they collect in a sweep nets. They identify as many of the insects as they can.

Learners observe offspring (mealworms) that do not initially resemble their parent organism (darkling beetles) throughout complete metamorphosis. They also create and maintain an appropriate habitat for the mealworms.

Students explore the wonders of bugs. In this bug lesson plan, students examine various types of bugs. Students make crafts, sing songs, discuss nutrition, and investigate different types of insects.
