Title A Bug's Life
Insects Ants, Wasps, Butterflies, Grasshoppers, Termites
Description Teaching & Learning Philosophy: I wish to increase my students exposure to both technology and the natural world. I expect them to be ble to access information themselves, but this should be conducted and supervised in a classroom setting. I am a pre-service teacher. My classroom is 12.5% Hispanic, 8% African American, and 79.5% Caucasian. This class is 60% female, and 40% male. All are of American heritage as far as I know. I intend to use this project as a way to differentiate structures and functions in the Class Insecta, and to study variations within the class between various taxa. I intend to use this project in order to incorporate technology and to demonstrate proper identification of structures within a class of animals. I intend to assign specimens for individual research, and to use this research to present information to other individuals in the school district about what was gained from this study.
