Mealworms!

This term in science we are exploring a unit called "Watch it Grow."  We are looking at life cycles of different animals and how they diifer to the changes in humans over time.

As part of the unit, we are keeping mealworms in our classroom.  We will closely observe them and see how they will change through their life cycles.

Here is a cool you tube clip that explains how the mealworms will change and how to look after them:

Here are some pictures of our meal worms:

Here they are at the larvae stage.

Here is our meal worm habitat.

Asleep in the fridge.

At the moment we are keeping them in the fridge which slows their life cycles right down.  In a couple of weeks we place 2 of the habitats on the science table were we hope their lifecycles will speed up and we can observe them change into beetles!

Stay tuned.....
