Lesson Plan Supplemental Materials

The students will learn about insects.  They will learn about the different body parts, what they eat, where they live, the role they play in the environment, and other interesting facts.  The students will work with a partner to make a poster including specific information about their chosen insect.  They will use clay to make a model of their insect showing the different body parts. The partners will then use story-bird to write a story about their insect. Throughout the unit, the students will have opportunities to use microscopes with pre-made bug slides and observe the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly.  
The students will develop abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry.  They will learn the characteristics and needs of living things. They will compare and contrast. They will write clear sentences and paragraphs that develop a central idea.

I would present this presentation to the students early in the lesson to teach them some of the basics about insects.  They also will be able to access it online on their own.

The students will complete this puzzle after they have seen the insect presentation.  These questions are similar to the ones they will have on their quiz which will help them prepare for it.

Since there are other assignments the students will be graded on during the lesson, this is just a quiz and not a test.  The quiz covers basic information they are expected to know by the end of the unit. The quiz will be taken online at the end of the lesson.
