I call up this was 1 of my kids favorite activities so far. We went outside to one of our flower pots by the pool where nosotros tin easily notice bugs, frogs, geckos, etc. gathered a couple worms, grubs, a protrude and an earwig. Going on a bug hunt was fun! Then we dipped them in pigment and watched them move.

Supplies needed:
One-half a dozen or so unlike types of bugs
Tweezers, pigment covered bugs are slippery!
Different colors of water soluble paint – and then the bugs can live through this experience.
Paper
What to do: drop an insect into paint, driblet them on the paper and repeat with dissimilar bugs and colors.
Learning Opportunities:
Brand predictions most which bugs would be the fastest. Were they? We predicted that the beetle would exist the fastest. The paint, however, made the beetle really sluggish while the worms, if they were really wet, would move very fast across the paper. As they stale a bit they slowed downwards considerably.
Make a graph of the fastest bugs and their accomplishments, nautical chart the fastest and the slowest bugs. Does the bugs speed alter if you mix the paint with h2o or with oil?
Dip a issues in bluish paint and drop it where there previously was a ruby or yellow issues trail, does the new problems'southward squirming introduce new colors by mixing the paints?
How do the various bugs movement? What does a worm do to motion compared to a grub or a beetle? Can y'all run into the foot prints of the bugs?
What does the issues practice when touched? Does it curl up into a brawl? Does it bunch itself upwards? Does it run? Does information technology freeze?
How are bugs unlike from animals? people? cars?
