Bugs are fascinating and all around us. In this unit, students engage their natural curiosity to investigate some of the smallest creatures in the Pacific Northwest. The term “bug” is used generally to describe these organisms. Bugs include insects, arachnids, centipedes, and millipedes. Bugs play an important role in ecosystems and have unique adaptations to help them survive. Students will learn how to identify local species through playing an observation game, creative writing, constructing math equations, and making field journals.
