Crawling guests

SCIENCE

Materials:
several aquariums with well-fitting lids
insects (caterpillars, grasshoppers, earthworms, etc.)

What should be done:

1. Read a bit about insects, which you intend to bring to the hall.

2. Let the children help decorate and equip aquariums for individual insects. Example, earthworms need loose soil, organic waste from food and occasional light rain”. They also need to be kept away from sunlight. The aquarium can be decorated with a few small plants and pebbles.

3. Introduce children to the individual insects. Explain to the little ones, what these insects eat, and whether they change form (e.g.. caterpillars turn into butterflies, and the mealworm larvae into beetles).

4. Encourage children to observe the insects daily.

5. Keep insects all month long, to be able to observe changes,

6. After observing, release the insects in their proper habitats.
