On Friday, March 1st, 1st Graders had the opportunity to observe, touch, and learn about a variety of bugs! Bug Works provided a hands-on and interactive learning experience for students. 1st Graders learned about life cycles and metamorphosis, anatomy, feeding strategies, habitats, and anti-predator defenses.
Check out some of the amazing bugs that visited 1G!
Excited to see our first bug! They were larvae!
This water bug acts like a scuba diver when it needs air! It goes to the surface and makes a bubble of air that it carries!
These bugs 'play dead' to avoid being eaten by their predators!
Stick Bugs not only look like sticks but they act like sticks...they can remain perfectly still like a stick!
The Praying Mantis attempted to camouflage itself on our Days in School poster!
