Insects
Social Sciences
Insect habitats/homes
HIVE- Honeybees live in bee hives
SOIL- earth worms live in soil
COLONY- ants and termites live in a colony
WOODLICE- They live in gardens
WATER INSECTS- Mosquitos and dragon flies
TREES- caterpillas live on trees, plants, grass
Technology
Structure of insects
insects have a hard exoskeleton and segmented body divided into three regions: head, thorax, and abdomen. (Purdue University,2023)
Activity:
have kids create different kinds of insects with different materials such cardboard, plastic, bottles, thermocol,toilet paper,
we will use them to create our own bugs, spiders, and butterflies.

Characteristics of insects
Concept 1
Invertebrates (lacking a backbone)
Three body segments: head, abdomen, and thorax. (Durso & McDougal, 2022)
Jointed legs are attached to the thorax.
Hexapoda (have 6 legs)
Antennae on head.
2 compound eyes, usually situated on either side of the head.
0-3 simple eyes called ocelli
Activity
add plastic toy insects in a bucket and have kids find them and name them
Activity:
Have the kids draw different habitats of insects
How insects help us
1.Bees- gives food, honey and beauty products
2.insects help decompose waste and organic matter(Ross,2021)
3.Insects control pest populations
4.Insects are an important food source
5.insects have medical benefits for humans.
Activity:
watch videos on how insects help us
How insects can harm us
how insects can be harmful
Damaging crops and food production, leading to economic losses and food insecurity.
Spreading diseases, such as malaria, dengue, Lyme disease, and hantavirus, through their bites or droppings.
Causing painful bites and stings, which can be allergic, toxic, or venomous.
Destroying buildings and infrastructure, such as wood, fabrics, and electrical wires.
Affecting the natural balance of ecosystems, by reducing biodiversity, altering habitats, and increasing soil erosion.
Insect habitats/house
Designing insect houses
Activity:
Have the learners create a cacoon house for bees
Life Cycle of insects
Four stages of an insect
Egg stage, pupa stage,
larvae, and adult stage
Activity:
Have children create an insect life cycle craft
ACTIVITY
Have pictures that children will use to label insects
