Life Cycles of Animals
Third graders raise and study mealworms

In science class third graders studied animals and their life cycles. During this unit the students were able to experience the actual life cycle of the mealworm. Each child got their own mealworm. They named their mealworms and studied their habitat, needs, and body features. The students even experimented with how wind, water, and movement affected these small creatures. The most exciting part of the whole experience was watching the mealworms turn into pupas and then into beetles.
