Today's topic was insects! We started off asking the kids if they could name any insects and what their favorite insect was. Then, we asked them to draw the insect of their choice and we talked about its unique features. We asked them to think about where the insect lived, it's diet, and how they survive in the wild. The kids were very interested in the lesson and were excited from the moment we announced that the topic for today was insects. We did an Edpuzzle lesson where we watched a video and answered questions corresponding to it. We also did a Buzzfeed quiz that shows you which cartoon insect most likely resembles you as well as a game where we separated the insects from the non-insects. We did many other activities that taught us more about insects such as an insect matching game, a game where we separated the insects that eat plants from the ones that eat other insects, and an activity where we categorized insects by their traits. To wrap up the session we asked them to tell us one new thing they learned about insects.
