Go on Bug Hunt!

Are you worried about the social distance that causes children not to have fun outside during this summer? Try Go on Bug Hunt to let children explore the Biology and Science in a natural environment!
Open Your Mind
Space: Outdoor
Activity Name: Go on Bug Hunt
Age Group: 6-12
Group Size: individual or small group (4 children maximum).
Description:
Children can go hiking with their parents and friends, catch insects and bugs, and then keep them in different transparent containers. Guess what they can do next? They could create description cards to make a documentation board for observation of their bugs. If they work with friends in a group, two children will catch bugs, and the other two can record the progress. The observation and documentation provide children with an opportunity to learn all aspects of insects and bugs!
