Today we have been looking at bugs.
We are doing a science experiment and we have been thinking about what things might change the amount and type of bugs we can find.
Keavie: We made predictions about what will happen when we change the size of the item we use to catch the bugs with.
Aimee – We started our science report and we chose which variables we would change and what we would keep the same. We decided to use the same equipment for the same types of bugs but we would change the size of the equipment.
Hannah – Abbi and I found bugs and we put them in the visualiser so everyone can look at them.
We have just been outside to look for bugs. We left the equipment outside and we are just about to go back out. We will see if leaving it for longer means more bugs are collected..
Max: I found looking at the flying bugs tricky as they wouldn’t stay still for me!
Lorna – It was very hard to see the tiny bugs and sometimes bits of tree looked like bugs but they weren’t.
Lewis – Jake and I put our mat under the bush but we kept on shaking it so nothing was on it. When we go back out we hope there are more bugs on it.
Photos to follow!
Did you find many bugs? I liked seeing the spider you found today. Great bug hunting!
Lorna – I think it was very hard finding places to trap bugs so we could look at them closely .
