Creepy, Crawly Mealworms

Our new science unit, Insects and Plants, is off to a great start! Our first insect of study is the mealworm. We learned that mealworms need air, food, water, and space, so we created mealworm habitats with all of those things. 

At first, most First Graders observed the mealworms from a distance...

Before long, some of us were up close and personal with these new insect friends!
