Entomología emocionante: ¡Pedos de cohete, caramelos de caca y bingo! (Versión anterior)

This lesson will cover basic insect physiology and ecology as it relates to the digestive system and waste release. 
We will discuss various adaptations that insects have with relation to the release of gas. We will discuss how these adaptions aid insect survival, locomotion and escape from danger. We will discuss how some insects use frass (insect poop) to manipulate their environment and protect themselves. We will look at how insects interact with the excrement of other species as part of their behaviour and life cycle. 
We will also look at human interaction with insect waste, from consuming it, to the pathological effects of insect borne diseases that are transferred from frass. 

The structure for this lesson includes lecture style slides, short video clips, open discussion and activities. Students should be prepared to share their thoughts and ideas during discussion. At the end of the lesson, we will play a BINGO game, to reinforce key terms and concepts. 

Although not necessary, but having a basic understanding of animal anatomy would be helpful for completing this lesson.
