Mealworm Observations FOSS Insects, TESLA Science Notebooks

Big Idea: Insects have unique structures, behaviors and basic needs such as food, water, air and waste removal. Insects are all related to each other, yet exhibit variations and complex life cycles.

Guiding Questions What do insects need to survive? What are the structures and behaviors of different types of insects? How do insects change as they grow?

Background Knowledge: Scientists at the Jack O’ Connor Education Center would like us to observe mealworms for the next several weeks. What do you think will happen to the mealworms during this time? Will they grow? Will they change? What will they need to live?

We need to record and keep accurate records in our science notebooks.

What are the Structures and Behaviors of Mealworms as they Grow and Change? Stage Structures Behaviors

Mealworms Making Meaning: What do mealworms need to survive? What are the structures and behaviors of mealworms? How do mealworms change as they grow?

Claims and Evidence: I claim that… I know this because… We need to record some claims and evidence statements about mealworms in our science notebook… Your evidence must be based on your data and observations! I claim that… I know this because… Possible Examples: I claim that a mealworm goes through a life cycle of… I know this because… I claim that to survive a mealworm needs… I claim that an adult mealworm has three main body parts called.. I know this because…
