Using Insects to Spark Interest in the Natural Resources Lesson

On top of that the class asks teachers and administrators to come in and try to find as many of their camouflaged creatures as they can. Not an easy task at all based on the blog photo.

The key here is that it would be easy to provide a lecture and a study guide for the students and move on to a test on insects, but you can take the extra step to let the students use their creativity to see if they are as clever as the insects are.

During this time, you walk around and reinforce the principles that were discussed during the lecture. You may even introduce a few more vocabulary words and terms when you find a meaningful example that illustrates them. This is where the rubber meets the road for educating students. Take the time to expand on the lecture with a great activity.
