GRADE 2 SCIENCE

​·We are learning that living things grow, change and have offspring similar to themselves. The class are investigating the growth of a mealworm under different temperature conditions.

One group of mealworms is kept at room temperature and the other group is being kept a cooler temperature in a refrigerator. We are observing and comparing the difference in how they grow and change.

Issac: They will change from a worm into a beetle. A darkling beetle.

Jethro: They are changing. We really like them. 

Tinku: Can we hold them again tomorrow?

We are also comparing similarities and differences of the features of different species from when they were a baby to now. Thanks for sharing your baby photo's Year 2 families!

The students will produce a visual representation of the life stages of mealworms as their assessment for the unit of work.
