= Don't Kill that Bug! Unit by Wyvona Barrett =

Flyswatters, bug bombs, insecticides, shoes, rolled up papers, and so on. What do these have in common? They are all ways to get rid of, kill, insects. When many people see bugs they want to either kill them or shoo them away. However, not all bugs are bad. Some are good, even necessary. While learning about insect life cycles, students will research and find out about different types of bugs. Students will specifically reseach to learn how bugs are good and what benefits they can provide for other animals, plants, and environments. The students will demonstrate their understanding of bugs in general and specifically report on the benefits of bugs. They will make a glogster, powerpoint presentation, flipchart, or other digital media presentation illustrating the life cycle of an insect and how the bug benefits others.
