1. Take the children exploring outdoors. When you find an insect to observe, scoop up some of its habitat the dirt and/or leaves surrounding it and place the insect inside the container.
2. Bring the container indoors and let the children observe the insect for a few days. Explain to the children why it is very important to return the insect to its natural habitat.
3. Share insect facts with your class: all insects have six legs, two antennae and three body parts: the head, thorax and abdomen. Most progress from egg to adult insect.
