A
Bug Safari: A WebQuest for Grades 2-5
This spring, the town nature director has decided to conduct
insect safaris throughout the park. Your class has been
asked to create a field guide to help those who go on the
safaris learn about the insects they see. The field guide
will include information about what the insects look like,
where they live, what they eat, and how they hurt and/or
help people.

to See: Bugs and Insects:
Insects are an extremely diverse group, existing in a seemingly
endless variety of shapes and sizes and colors and disguises.
Why not add a little diversity and excitement to your spring
activities with a few lessons about the wonderful world
of insects? Included: Three dozen links to insect info and
activities.
Eco-Insects:
What would we do without
those bugs? Most likely become extinct, according to biologist
Edward O. Wilson. Students will explore the extraordinary
world of insects, along with food chains, ecosystems, and
carrying capacities with this unit.
