Think/Do
Try out the activities in this module as time allows.
There are a number of hands-on activities that can be done during your in-person sessions. They are designed to be done individually, as a class or in small groups. They may also serve as homework. Ask your CCE volunteer coordinator to access the Garden-Based Learning Library to download and explore more of these activities.
THINK:
- Are you already familiar with beneficial insects? Make a list of those.
- What are some questions you have about beneficial insects?
DO:
- Explore the online resource BugGuide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/73 and find one insect you weren't previously aware of and become familiar with it.
- What are its key morphological characteristics? Does it have complete or incomplete metamorphosis? Which insect order is it in?
- Do the BugFinder Activity (2 pages).pdf
- Explore Cornell Insect Diagnostic Lab Factsheets: http://idl.entomology.cornell.edu/factsheets
