Learning Goals
Students will be able to observe garden bugs and describe where they live, move, hide, and survive in a garden habitat.
Students will be able to identify and sort natural materials for a bug hotel based on which items help bugs have shelter and safety.
Students will be able to ask questions and gather information about what bugs need in order to define a simple problem for the bug hotel design.
Students will be able to use drawings, picture cards, and words to explain how their bug hotel helps bugs live, hide, and move.
Students will be able to collaborate, listen to feedback, and revise a bug hotel so it better meets bugs’ needs in the garden.
Products
Bug Needs Picture Journal and Mini Bug Hotel Prototype
Each child creates a simple picture journal showing where bugs were found, what materials bugs may like, and why those choices matter. They also make a small individual bug hotel prototype or model to show one idea for helping bugs live safely in the garden.
Class Garden Bug Hotel with Shared Problem Statement and Celebration Display
The team co-designs and builds one finished bug hotel for the garden, supported by a shared problem statement and picture display. The final presentation shows how children used observations, feedback, and revisions to create a habitat that helps bugs live, hide, and move.
