Insects we love and hate

A lesson plan for grade K Science
This lesson is about insects rather than parasites, but it teaches students about some insect parasites (e.g. mosquitoes and lice) as well as about insects in general. They’ll see pictures of insects that bite and sting, and others of insects that don’t bother people. They’ll classify insects into “likeable” and “not-so-likeable” categories and draw pictures of insects that people like and don’t like. This lesson can be found on the National Geographic website.
