Live Beetles

Students write procedures for races; collect, record and tabulate data; and calculate rates, ranges and means. We’ve noticed that even squeamish kids can’t help bonding with their beetle champions. Let the beatlemania begin! Order our Amazing Bugs® kit for grades 4-6. Add the Activity Pack for handouts and additional activities at grade 5-7 math level. Your order also supports rainforest education and conservation.
