Bugs are everywhere – give your kids a notebook, pencil and magnifying glass — if you have one.  They can make a science notebook on backyard bugs.

*Tell them that scientists and writers both must be good observers.  They look closely at details and include those details in their notes.

To do:

Draw the bug.

Write the name.

Write a short description.

Worm

Worms are long tubes about the size of my finger.  They have bands around their bodies.  They don’t have eyes.
