Research and Discover

Looking for a fun classroom activity to go with the song “Stink Bug”? No problem! This “Research and Discover” project will encourage kids to use their existing knowledge and learn new things.

 

As a class, make a list of all the bugs your students can think of.  (Don’t forget to include Jeremy’s favourite bug on the list… the stink bug!)  Then, every day, pick a bug and research it together.

 

Here are some subjects you can look up about each bug.  Add your own!

• Habitat
• Prey
• Predators
• Significance to the ecosystem
• Fun facts!
