What Is the Bug Box Used For?
Children gently place an ant, beetle, woodlouse, seed or petal in the pot, close it and look in to count legs, spot antennae or follow the veins on a leaf. Because the creature is held inside the pot, pupils can watch it move without handling it, and several children can take turns looking at the same find.
For school groups it works as a hands-free alternative to a hand lens magnifier, since nobody has to hold the subject and the lens at the same time. Keep observation times short, keep the pot out of direct sun, and release living creatures where they were found before cleaning the pot for the next lesson.
