Learning about Insects- Beetle Week

Beetle week has been very interesting. We learned that the beetle life cycle is similar to the life cycle of the ant and the honeybee. We also learned that in the larval stage, most beetles look like worms, or grubs. On Friday, our focus was the "Click Beetle". We read Eric Carle's "The Very Clumsy Click Beetle." We then watched a short video of a live click beetle.



In the afternoon, we created our own click beetles. We were very surprised when they actually clicked and flipped!
