SUB-TOPIC 2
How can insects help us?
Insects help us with:
Pollination
Decomposition
Resources like honey
(Smithsonian Institution, n.d.)
The learners get to do a pollination role-play (CONTENT FOCUS)
1 learner can role-play as a bee while another 2 learners can role-play as a flower and another as pollen.
Through this way they can understand pollination.
(Science-pollination and fertilisation role play, n.d.)
SUB-TOPIC 1- Terrestrial habitats.
Terrestrial habitats include land-based habitats like forests, fields and gardens.
-They can be found on trees, under leaves, in soil and in decaying matter.
Aquatic habitats include some insects that live in aquatic environments such as ponds, lakes, rivers and streams.
(Museums Victoria, 2019)
The learners will walk around the school to observe where insects live.
SUB-TOPIC 3
How can insects harm us?
Insects can harm us by:
Giving us allergic reactions
Economic impact (insect pests)
Disease transmission.
Bites and stings.
Preventive measures.
(Csanyi, 2018)
Role Play (CONTENT FOCUSED):
Demonstrate how insects harm us and preventative actions against insect harm.
This activity engages students in exploring the potential harms caused by insects, fostering awareness, understanding and proactive strategies to mitigate risks.
