We are getting back to our nature studies after our "new baby break." I printed out pictures of the Mosquito life cycle and anatomy for the kids to put in their journals. We read from and looked at pictures in several books we have that talk about mosquitoes - Bugs: Discover an Amazing World (Silver Dolphin)
We found a great video at YouTube of the Mosquito Life Cycle. It looks like the poster if this video has a number of excellent insect metamorphosis videos we will be checking out for other insect studies.
And we took advantage of the wonderful studies done by other homeschool families for great pictures and videos of these little pests! Here are a few:

ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back on board! Looking forward to your next entry.
Wow. Thanks for the shout our to our little zombies. :) You have encouraged me to link in other OCH blogs when I am last on the tail of submissions. :) Thanks for the encouragement! Great study!
ReplyDeleteWe found mosquito larva in a puddle the other day - after we'd done our study. We looked at them. Then dumped them! Still make me cringe. But - we learned later that good ol bats eat them up! Thanks for the link - I feel much safer clicking to watch a video :)
