Watch it Grow!

'We have really been enjoying our science topic this term.  We have watched as our meal worms have turned from larvae to pupas and we now have some darkling beetles!

Look closely and you can see pupas and a beetle.

Can you see the beetle?

We made a very interesting timeline showing the development of the meal worms. The top line showed their development in the warm classroom and the bottom line showed their development in the fridge.  Thank you to Mrs Jones who helped us put this together!

The mealworms in the classroom developed quicker than those in the fridge.

We created life cycle posters of other living things that go through metamorphosis.

We also compared how our bodies change as we grow older, compared to those living things that go through metamorphosis.  Unlike frogs and meal worms, we keep the same form throughout our lives.  We had a fun time guessing who the baby photos were!
