What is a bug? The number and type of body parts make an insect! We will begin with sharing what kinds of bugs learners have seen around their house and backyard. Then we will observe real dead insect specimen from my collection. We will see beetles, butterflies, and more! We will practice counting how many feet and antenna bugs have. We will learn the names of basic insect body parts with a coloring sheet to help distinguish between the head, thorax, and abdomen. At the end, we will make a bug out of clay and incorporate all of the basic body parts of an insect. Younger learners may need an adult's help with the clay.
Learning Goals
Students will practice counting parts of a bug and develop fine motor skills with clay.Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in English Language and Literature from Randolph College
I am a self-taught entomologist. Insects have been a special interest of mine for the past decade. I taught this specific class here on OutSchool during the pandemic lockdown to about 300 learners that year. Since then, I have gained more experience teaching young children, from babies to kindergarteners, at an in-person Montessori school. In addition, I have ten years of experience providing nature programs to my community through Parks and Rec. I have given presentations with live animals in many preschool classrooms in my town.Reviews
