Buggy Discovery Bags








 
My students will be researching insects next week through Insect Discovery Bags. I want to share the information sheets I created for the bags with you. If you look closely at the pictures of the bags, I've included simple books about each insect, a life cycle model, stuffed animals or puppets of each insect and the laminated fact sheets. (The puppets and the ant came from Dollar tree.) Students will work in small groups to collect information about their insect. They will rotate through four centers next week, including a computer station where they will visit pebblego.com to collect material on their favorite insect.
If you want the fact sheets:
1. send me an email (see Contact Me on the sidebar) with Buggy Discovery Bags in the subject area
2.leave a comment after you receive them. 
I would really appreciate it if you would share how you used the fact sheets.
You can download the collection sheets below the pictures of the Discovery Bags.

Thanks for the fact sheets. I'm already planning how I can use them next year at the preschool level. Preschoolers are naturally fascinated by bugs and I could almost leave them in my science discovery center for the whole year!
