People may not be able to actually make or do everything that they can design. The tools and ways of doing things that people have invented affect all aspects of life. When of people want to build something or try something new, they should try to figure out ahead of time how it might affect other people. Students in a primary class are studying insects. In this activity, students observe mealworm structure and behavior.
Students use a calendar chart to track the development of their mealworm.
They use the hand magnifier to look for eggs in the mealworm culture. Next, they look for the tiny baby mealworms. Using the hand magnifier, students next look for specific structures of the large mealworm. The various stages are drawn and charted on the mealworm stages worksheets.
