Have students explore Edible Insect Species from Around the World to learn about insects that people in various parts of the world eat. Invite volunteers to locate each country as it is discussed.
Ask students to compare their completed table with the Nutritional Value of Various Insects table and answer the questions at the bottom of the worksheet. (Answers will vary according to the foods selected.)
As an extension activity, encourage students to prepare one of the insect recipes at home with their families and share the results with their classmates.
Assessment
Students will be evaluated based on the information in the completed worksheet.
