Project Overview

Each second-grade student chose an insect to research. Students completed 6 research questions in order to become experts on their insect. Using the knowledge gained during their research, students were asked to make a "Gettin' Buggy" trading card. Trading cards had to include the insect's classification, ecosystem, at least 2 adaptations, and 2 WOW facts. The front of the trading card had to include an illustration/diagram or lifecycle of their insect. Students drafted, edited, revised, and then published their final trading cards. Cards were reduced in size and students used these cards to teach others about their insects at the Celebration of Learning.
