Insects - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Activity: Learners will be seated on the carpet. I will show them various flashcards of bugs and they will tell me whether that insect moves by means of hopping, flying, crawling, or slithering. If there is enough time, some learners could improvise how the insect moves (hopping, crawling, slithering, flying, etc).
- - - - Activity: Learners will be given a scenario in which bees are extinct. They will be given life-sized toys of a variety of vertebrates as well as life-sized cut-outs of what bees would usually pollinate. Learners would need to evaluate the situation to identify which animals would be best suited to take over the job of pollinating flowers and fruits.
  - - - Activity: Select your viewpoint on insects, whether it be that they are helpful or harmful. Design and make a poster that tells us briefly why it is important to know this about insects. The poster needs to capture someone's attention and tell them through words and pictures what you think.
- - - - Activity: I would create a paper chain with different processes on it. Each process would relate to something that an insect does to help us. Learners will slowly break the chain and see how that specific process would cause disharmony in their own life. For example, bees will one day be extinct. This means we will no longer have flowers or honey. If we don't have flowers, we lose out on some of nature's natural medicines. This means people get sick and may not recover.
  - - - Activity: A game could be played outdoors. One player could act as the infected insect, and the rest of the class would be human beings. The game would be played according to the rules of "Open Gates". As soon as the insect touches a human being, he will become infected and join the opposing team.
