Understanding and studying insects is crucial for middle and high school students in science because insects play vital roles in ecosystems, such as pollination, decomposition, and serving as a food source for other animals. They are also important in understanding biodiversity, the balance of ecosystems, and the impact of human activities on the environment. Studying insects helps students develop critical thinking and observation skills, as well as an appreciation for the interconnectedness of life on Earth. Additionally, learning about insects can spark interest in broader biological and environmental sciences, fostering future scientific curiosity and careers. With all this in mind, let’s engage with this teaching resource. This science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. I am very proud of this series of science articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of science. Each science article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable). WHY / WHEN TO USE: Useful for substitute (sub) teaching To extend students To increase scientific literacy in your class A weekly reading task Great as a lesson filler when class goes too fast To inspire students on a particular topic Give a selection of these articles for students to choose from WHAT’S INCLUDED: 3 page Word doc teacher version with answers 2 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) 3 page PDF teacher version with answers 2 page PDF student version without answers (but space left to do so) More will be coming to cover other subjects and other topics, so please do keep an eye out for more science articles from The Teaching Astrophysicist!
