5/26/2016

First graders at Weaver Lake Elementary begin the year studying the characteristics of insects, including body parts and adaptations, such as camouflage.  They net live insects for observation, study specimens in the lab, and eventually also have the opportunity to use their expertise to engineer their own insect!  Students use a variety of materials to design and create their insects.  They then write about their invented insect species and record themselves reading it.
