The World of Insects!

1st graders are learning about insects.  In particular...mealworms!  They don't look or feel like any worms we know!  They are small, brown, have 6 legs and shed their skin. They can move fast, but also like to play dead. They are pretty interesting little insects!

Time to set up the habitat! We know they need food, water, air and place to live.
It took a while to figure out how to give the mealworms water, but we figured that fruits and vegetables were juicy and that should work!
