The Grade Two students at Millarville Community School are presently in an inquiry unit that has them looking at bugs. The children are busy learning about all sorts of different insects and bugs. Here are some of the things that they think they know already:
- Chara: Some bugs have wings but they can't fly. They use the wings for camouflage.
- Michael: Scorpions are arachnids, not insects. Some spiders don't have webs. Like the Trapdoor spider.
- Sydney: Insects have three body parts and six legs.
- Brayden: Some insects have wings, some do not. Ladybugs have four pairs of wings.
- Izaak: Ladybugs look delicious to a bird but they taste horrible.
The students are going on a "Bug Walk" on Friday afternoon to see what bugs they can find in their own backyard. In the next few weeks they will also participate in a bug learning program at the Calgary Zoo and they will visit the Chinook Honey Farm. They have discovered that many bugs are helpful and important to the planet.
