How many different insects can we spot nearby?
An exercise for children in kindergarten, primary and secondary school.
Learning objectives:
Recognizing and identifying species of pollinators and differences between pollinators and non- pollinators. Basic entomology exploration through artistic workshop. Watercolor painting exercise to discover the morphology and anatomy of pollinators. Depending on the students age, the workshop can
Older students can work on models of insects using recycled materials. Identifying bees, butterflies, wasps, dragonflies, mosquitos, etc. Using the existing metal statue on the plot, students can build extension models that represent the pollinators that are integral to the biodiversity on site. Further discussions and presentations can take place while describing the anatomy of the insects from the installation. Possibility of this becoming content for future podcasts about pollinators.
