Let's Learn About Insects: A Science Lesson Plan
This lesson plan suggests opening with books about insects and asking students to identify the species and predict what the book will be about. As the teacher reads the book, he/she should point out the stages in the life cycle of the insect. Teacher then should review the stages in a complete metamorphosis life cycle. Afterwards the students will make a life cycle poster. Assessment is labeling the illustration. The focus of this lesson plan is complete metamorphosis with insects. An extension is to paired with The Life Cycle of a Frog: From Tadpole to Frog to include both amphibians and insects.
