__ Teacher Ideas, Information and Lesson Plans __

The webquest and following student presentations should take up to **three lessons** (approx 45 minutes each). **NB:** As a webquest allows students to pave their own way, the lesson plans mainly contain syllabus information and ways in which the teacher can act as a guide as opposed to telling students exactly what to do. This webquest is very much **learner centered** as opposed to teacher directed.

//For indicators see the lesson plans below.//  **LT S2.3** Identifies and describes the structure and function of living things and ways in which living things interact with other living things and their environment. **UT S2.9** Selects and uses a range of equipment, computer-based technology, materials and other resources with developing skill to enhance investigation and design tasks.

POSTER: Example of A1 group Insect Poster to be completed by lesson 3 (finished version to be done by artist, with all group contribution). Each poster should display: • Name of insect (and scientific equivalent) • A large diagram of the insect: with arrows pointing to body parts, such as 'head', 'thorax', 'legs', 'antenna' • Names of group members • 8 bullet points about the insect These posters can then be displayed on the 'MINIBEAST' wall inside the classroom for all to see and a great way for students to find out more about the other insects at their own time.
