1st Graders as Entomologists!

If you haven't heard yet....1st graders know a lot about insects!  They know that to be an insect, it has to have 6 legs, 3 body parts, antenna and some have wings!

All the classes now have their own insect to take care of - a mealworm!  Wondering how a worm can be an insect?  Ask your 1st grader and they will tell you why!

The mealworms aren't slimy!


They tickle your hand when you hold them!



They move fast!

Building a habitat for our mealworms is
important!  They need food to survive - oats!


They need to have air, so the top has holes!

They can get water from the juice of an apple!

 The mealworm is safe in its new habitat.

The mealworm is a light color because it just shed its skin.


I need more oats for mealworm.

Trying to see the legs and antenna on the mealworm.

It's so cute!

Sometimes it's hard to find your mealworm in the habitat.

back into the habitat safely!
