Create a Bug Zoo! - Writing and STEM
Whenever I can add a creative element to our writing, I do! It gets the kids more excited about writing and they seeem to write better every time! For this writing assignment we start by reading the picture book, Bug Zoo by Andy Harkness. The book is about a kid who catches and keeps bugs for his own Bug Zoo until he realizes he should set them all free. For the writing assignment, each student chooses an insect and does research in order to write a report. They then get a plastic box container and they create a habitat using plastic flowers, grass, etc. and a model magic model of the insect.
