Help me give my students the opportunity to learn about life cycles of insects by using these insects figurines to learn about the different life cycle stages.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our science lab is a place of challenge and discovery. Students will spend this year learning the foundation of knowledge and skills they will need as they pursue their education.
The students that I have a privilege of teaching range from kindergarten to fifth grade in an urban, inner-city elementary school.
They are excited to explore the world of science, to perform experiments, and to expand their capacity for critical thinking. They take pride in their efforts and are willing to challenge their minds for the sake of learning.
Our student population is 99% minority and over 97% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. With that being said, I believe that they deserve the BEST education and every opportunity to be successful in fulfilling their dreams.
My Project
Due to the shut down of schools this past spring due to the coronavirus, I have decided that I will start the new school year by teaching life science. Since my students did not get an opportunity to learn about life science this school year.
As the science lab teacher, I will have the same students for the upcoming school year, so I want to pick up where we left off.
The models of the 6 different insect life cycles will help the students learn about the different stages that insects undergo through metamorphosis. The students will be able to identify the correct sequence for the stage of the insect's life cycle. Then they will draw and make their own models to take home.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
