Sort the insects you find in your observations on the Internet and in your own environment into groups. Find out whether any of the groups of insects are actually related and make a poster of the families of insects. Social Studies Yummy bugs - Make a recipe book of insect food that you were interested in while looking at the websites about insects as food in different cultures. Make sure your recipe book tells the culture from which it came. You may wish to add a map of the country from which they come at the bottom of each recipe.

From a deck of alphabet cards, choose a card and work in a group of 3 or 4 to recreate the letter on the floor using your bodies. Ask others to guess the letter that has been created. Each insect within its insect community has a role or responsibility to insure the smooth running of the community, for example, laying eggs, working, caring for the young, collecting food.
