Goal

The best way to learn about something is to watch it.
My goal is to provide a live larvae kit for each of the seven classroom in our kindergarten so they can be scientists and observe the natural world.

 

 

What will be done with my students

Scientists do a lot of watching, or observing, to learn about things, especially insects like ladybugs. In this project, our students will get to observe ladybugs from their very beginning stages to adult. They will watch them to learn about them, just like a real scientists! They will predict what will happen and they will create observations and record their findings.
 

 

Benefits to my students

Our Florida science standards are to observe and record nature. Ladybugs are perfect tools to introduce science and biology to children in a fun and engaging way. By embracing the natural curiosity about bugs, we teach our students to work with nature rather than against it. They learn that even the tiniest creature can help make a difference in the natural world!  

 

Budget Narrative

This will provide all the materials for seven classes. Shipping is included. We will be able to re-use the ladybug land each year as well.
