1. Went on a hike. This was a bug finding hike. Finding bugs on or under leaves, on bark of trees, crawling on ground, on plants or flying around us. We discussed bugs and their homes, where they find food, etc.
2. Observed ants. We did this outside of our meeting place. We watched ants on the move. We placed a leaf or stick in their path and watched what they did. We even drew a line of chalk ahead of them and observed their movements. It was quite interesting.
3. Went to a Nature Museum. We're lucky that the local University has a Nature Museum that we are able to visit. They love having Girl Scout Troops, too! They talked about various bugs and their life cycles. We watched a video on bugs. They had various bugs for us to look at. We even made an easy craft showing the life cycle of the butterfly.
I took this before it was finished :)
Of course we drew pictures of some of the bugs we saw (on our hike or at the Nature Museum).
The girls had a great time learning about bugs.
