Insect Exploration
Learning Outcomes: Self-Management, Initiative and Curiosity, Health, Safety, & Nutrition
Take a walk outdoors and take photos of the insects you find to build an insect collection. Encourage your child to describe what they notice by zooming in on the details!
Why It's Important
Observing closely encourages children to notice details, make comparisons, and make connections to their own lives.
Not Ready Yet
Model how to zoom in on pictures of insects taken with your device. Point out details using descriptive language.
Need a Challenge
Invite your child to examine the insect’s details closely. Introduce descriptive language such as "antennae," "translucent," "thorax," and "beneficial." Encourage your child to use these new vocabulary words throughout the day in different settings.
