Teaching ideas for a bug jar
- These handy bug jars provide a means to both contain any interesting creatures you may find, as well as examine them under magnification.
- After capturing your insects, your students could create a larger habitat for them to live in. Try making an ant mine or use a leaf insect shelter to house the larger insects.
- Students could research the difference between bugs and other insects. Calling all insects ‘bugs’ is a common student misconception.
- With biology students, you could teach them how to create an insect display by pinning insects. Include scientific tags with the insect order and location where the specimen was collected.

I just wanted to pass on how much the staff and students really enjoyed it and how perfect it was to launch our science week activities. The students were enthralled, educated and entertained – a perfect trifecta!
-Caulfield Grammar School – Big Science Big FunThanks so much for presenting at our school on Monday. Our students enjoyed the show.
-Greenvale Primary School – Big Science Big FunFizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.
-Macquarie Bank – Family Fun DayFizzics Education ran a show today at our school and it was wonderful. He was a great facilitator and the show was age appropriate and well done.
