WELCOME to the 183rd Issue of EduHound Weekly!

From the Desk of Judi!

This week's topic is:

BUGS


There are many more kinds of insects on earth than any other kind of living creature. It's hard to imagine, but 95% of all the animal species on the earth are insects! Over one million species have been discovered by scientists, and they think that there might be ten times that many that haven't been named yet!


Some sites to help in this effort:

  • 3-D INSECTS
    If you like real insects, you would love virtual insects because you can see them big without a microscope. Virtual insects are clean and have no smell, they will not bite or sting you!
    http://www.ento.vt.edu/~sharov/3d/3dinsect.html

  • Insectclopedia
    A great site for young students learning about insects and how they fit into various ecosystems. There is a lot of information here, with lots of images, worksheets, lessons and more!
    http://www.insectclopedia.com

  • Insects on the Web
    This site aims to help you really see insects for the miniature marvels they represent and to understand how intertwined our cultures have become with these alien creatures.
    http://www.insects.org

  • Koday's Kids Amazing Insects!
    Click on the insect names to get some great information and see lots of excellent photographs! You'll see some of the best insect photos on the internet and find great facts for your science reports.

EduHound Spotlight Site of the Week!

In honor of Bugs, this week's featured site is:


Cicada Watch 2004
http://www.msj.edu/cicada/

After 17 years underground, periodical cicadas are emerging throughout the eastern U.S., with the heaviest emergences ocurring in the areas shaded in blue. Soon, male cicadas will begin forming chorusing centers, filling the air with their noisy serenade as they strive to attract a mate. Includes a teacher resource area.

Good Luck!
