and
compare
what
they
observe.
They
will
practice
observing
details
of
these
objects
with

Students
will
be
introduced
to
different
species
of
macroinvertebrates.
They
will

why
each
insect
looks
the
way
it
does.
Then
students
will
make
observations
of
macroinvertebrates
in
an
aquarium
in
their
classroom.
For
an
optional
extension,
teachers
can
take
students
to
a
local
stream
or
pond
to
conduct
field
observations.

environment
they
visit
and
then
will
