Fascinating EDU7078
The Bug World Science Kit!

Did you know that insects have more than a million species making them the largest animal category on earth? They are the oldest inhabitants of our planet and have existed for more than 500 million years. Small, microscopic and diminutive insets can be found in every kind of inhabitat on earth!

As the human population increases, our ecosystem (all plants, insects, animals and humans and their relationship to each other) are getting out of balance. Our earth's natural resources are being depleted. This kit will encourage you to become more aware of our natural world, be more active in the preservation of our wonderous ecosystem.

Science Fair Project ideas with the EDU7078 The Bug World Science Kit:
Record your findings...

• What effect does temperature have on how fast bugs move?
  
• Determine what bugs are attracted to different colors and light. Put a colored towel or sheet on the grass or hang from a tree. Do solid colors attract a particular kind of bug more than flowers or multi-colors?
  
• Use mercury vapor, ultra-violet or blacklight lamps to attract insects. Tie a sheet between 2 trees. Shine the light on the tree.
  • Which kind of light attracts more bugs?
    
  • What kind of bugs are attracted to each light?
    
  • Are bugs attracted more in humid weather?
    
  • What kinds of bugs are attracted in the evening? During the day?
    
  • Count how many bugs are attracted when there is a full moon compared to dusk? What kinds of insects at each time?
  
  
• Collect a couple of caterpillars from your home garden. Paint the inside of one box green and the other box a cream color. Place the same amount of caterpillars in each box. Feed them the same food and wait until they form pupae, Are the colors of the pupae different in each box or are they the same?
