  1. Bugscope by Megan Iftner • This picture is much different from the one I drew because I did not realize how complex bugs are. I found out that most bugs have tiny hairs that cover their bodies. • This is an image of the eye of a housefly. It has hair that covers its entire body that work as little sensors.

  2. NSES TEACHING STANDARD D:Teachers of science design and manage learning environments that provide students with the time, space, and resources needed for learning science. In doing this, teacher • Make the available science tools, materials, media, and technological resources accessible to students. • Identify and use resources outsidethe school. This relates to the Bugscope activity because we used a resource outside of the school.

  3. Literature sources and application: • A teacher could apply Bugscope to a geography class by exploring bugs in other areas of the worlds. • A teacher could also apply Bugscope to an art class by having students explore the bugs and then draw what they saw. • Literature Sources: • DK Readers: Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! • Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo! • The Bug Scientists (Scientists in the Field Series)

  4. Using Technology It is important for students to be technology and science literate. Using microscopes and other technologies in a hands on environment is important for a students’ development. In an activity like Bugscope a teacher combines using technology and life science.

  5. What I learned about Dragonflies… Websites about Dragonflies: • http://people.colgate.edu/wda/Beginners_Guide.htm • http://www.daveingram.ca/bcdragonflies/facts.html

  6. Where do Dragonflies live? Dragonflies are generally found near: • Ponds • In cat-tail • Marshes • Acidic Bogs • Alkaline Lakes

  7. What do Dragonflies eat? Dragonflies eat: • Mosquitoes • Midges • Small flying incects • They catch their food by: • Stalking their prey in vegetation • Lying in the mud and debris at the bottom of a pond and wait for their prey

  8. What is a Dragonflies life cycle like? A dragonfly’s life cycle takes place over the course of about one year. First, eggs are deposited directly into aquatic plants or dropped into water. Many species are larva or nymphs in ponds over the winter and then emerge as adults in the spring. Adults can live for up to two months.

  9. How do Dragonflies Mate? • Dragonflies mate in a circular position. The male dragonfly transfers sperm from his primary set of genitalia at the tip of his abdomen to the secondary set at the base of his abdomen. When the male finds a female he grasps her by the top of her head. The female then reaches the tip of her abdomen around to male's penis. This can be a long process and many species remained linked together until the female is finished laying her eggs.
