Ants, Insects and Bugs...Oh my!

Here are some fun projects we have done while working on our Insect unit in Science.

To learn the 3 body parts of an insect, we made very large ants. The kids picked their own paper for each section of their ant and then we glued them together and labeled them. The first one on the left is Micah's, Jacob's is in the middle and Naomi's is the last one on the right.

The boys were wondering what the difference, if any, was between an insect and a bug. So after learning they are different and why, I made this game. We had a big pile of pictures that were facing picture side down. When it was their turn, the kids chose a picture from the pile and then had to determine which heading to put it under. It was a lot of fun!
