Entomology - The World of Insects STEM Class

by  Long Island Science Center

Program image

Students examine the world of insects, including life cycles, form and function with models, specimens and living creatures. Each child receives a rubber cricket to examine and will build their own bug. A live cricket option is available for an additional fee.  If you chose live crickets, the students will build a habitat to nurture and observe their cricket. (Notify us upon registration if you prefer a class set of crickets or one for each student.) Materials for this class will be mailed to you based on the number of students you have indicated in the reservation.  Please allow time for standard mail delivery. All classes can be conducted in both English and Spanish.

Program Details

Format

1. The program starts out with the educator engaging the students in a conversation about how we can tell that a bug would be classified as an insect.
2. The educator shows different bug models and asks the students to identify if it is an insect or not.
3. The educator discusses with the students the insect life cycle as well as the function of the different body parts.
4. The educator then will lead the students through their bug building activity.
5. If time allows, we will take questions.

Objectives

- understand and identify the number of legs an insect has
- identify the body parts of an insect and the functions of those parts
- explore the insect life cycle and main components of their habitat
