Last week in science we learned about insects. After some discussion, making a list, and reading a few books about insects, we finally agreed on what makes an insect an insect. Have your child teach you what makes an insect an insect. Here is a cheat sheet for you: they must have 6 legs (no more - no less), they have 3 body parts (head, thorax, abdomen), they have 2 antennas. Ask your students about butterflies and bees because we spent some time learning about those two insects specifically.
Here are some pictures of "Ben Bug" that we made using gum drops and licorice. Before the students could eat their bug they had to teach a neighbor about what makes an insect an insect.
