10. How Fast Do Ants Go?- This activity is designed so students can make discoveries about some important aspects of biology as a science.
11. Insect Condominiums- The student will use problem solving techniques and critical thinking skills in order to construct and maintain a home specifically suited to his/ her insect pet.
12. Insect Modeling- Make some neat Insect models.
13. Insect Models- To make models of insects; to use the Internet for insect exploration.
14. Insect Survival: camouflage- The student will draw conclusions regarding the advantages of camouflage in nature; the student will also observe the consequences of environmental alteration, whether natural or man made, and the process of natural selection.
15. Insects All Year- A lesson per month.
