The mealworms are crawling!

The students had a lot of fun in science observing their mealworms while they took out the old apple pieces and gave them new ones.  There was a lot of excitement in the classroom and some even let the mealworms crawl on their hands while others didn't want to touch them at all.  We are learning about the life cycle of the Darkling Beetle. Each starts as an egg, then larva (which is our current mealworm stage), pupa, and then beetle.
