Stage 2 are Entymologists

Standard

Stage 2 have also been learning in the Veggie Patch this term. They have been conducting science experiments using plants, learning about pollination and classifying bugs.

Each week a new group of students works in the Library to investigate how entymologists group bugs. We found out

  • that living things are grouped into species, and that each species have characteristics special to just their own group.
  • ย that a lot of bugs are arthropods which means they have legs with lots of joints.
  • Insects have 6 legs, three body parts and usually have wings.

We had fun collecting bugs from the veggie patch and observing them to see if we could work out if they were an insect or not. We tried to draw scientific drawings of our creatures. Here are some for you to enjoy ….

  1. Hello DJ
    Thanks for commenting ๐Ÿ™‚
    It was harder to draw the real insects that we had caught because they were moving around in the jars. Some of us who didn’t catch an insect just copied from a book – that was easier :-0

  2. Hello Kieran,
    We found our insects in our veggie patch. Each class in our school is going to have a veggie patch and so we are learning about the insects that live there!

  3. Hello Abbie from Easter Carmuirs,
    We are learning about growing vegetables because we are all going to have a class veggie patch. We are learning about insects to see which ones are pests and which ones are good for the garden.
