Based on the experiences of your class, they may mention the ladybug search recording sheets, the School Grounds Map, and iNaturalist Ladybugs at School project entries. As a class, make a chart or Venn Diagram that includes space for each of these sources, and ask students to generate a list of similarities or differences among them, probing for how the data are displayed and what you can understand from each (e.g., School Grounds Map makes it easy to see patterns in location, recording sheets include details but can be more difficult to sort through, iNaturalist can be easily organized by date)<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/horizon-research.com\/sbpscience\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-13-131639-300x249.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"249\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1715 alignnone size-medium\" style=\"float: right;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizon-research.com\/sbpscience\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-13-131639-300x249.png 300w, https:\/\/horizon-research.com\/sbpscience\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-13-131639.png 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

She planned to start this month\u2019s work by comparing students&#8217; multiple data sources; however, she notices students continue to ask: \u201cWhy are we finding ladybugs inside now?\u201d and \u201cWhy are we finding ladybugs in groups?\u201d To review the concept of overwintering while still maintaining a focus on broader questions they\u2019ll use multiple data sources to investigate, Ms. Jones writes down student questions and adds a heading: \u201cHow and why does ladybug behavior change throughout the year?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin addressing the first question specific to increased indoor ladybug sightings, Ms. Jones guides students to look at their class data collection on iNaturalist, on their data recording sheets, and on their School Grounds Maps, where they have recently noted indoor observations of ladybugs. Ms. Jones asks students what they can recall about the recent weather conditions outside, again referring them to their data recording sheets. Students note that the outdoor temperature has recently dropped, and this corresponds with the shift to finding more ladybugs indoors. When students express concern over whether the ladybugs will survive, Ms. Jones prompts students to think about possible food and water sources when ladybugs come indoors. Ms. Jones acknowledges that it can be difficult for ladybugs to meet their needs for food and water while indoors, which is why students have also discovered dead ladybugs. She then shares that when ladybugs overwinter, or are dormant (e.g., when gathered outdoors together in a crevice of a log), they can survive without food because they live off of their energy reserves until their food (like aphids) reappears with warmer temperatures. Ms. Jones informs students that ladybugs do require some moisture during the overwintering period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the class recognizes that ladybugs are coming indoors to overwinter and escape the cold temperatures and harsh winter weather, Ms. Jones directs students to their School Grounds Map and asks students to consider where ladybugs could shelter outdoors. Students express uncertainty and have difficulty generating locations, so Ms. Jones decides that the next day the class will go outdoors to identify spots where ladybugs may overwinter. In preparation, they discuss what students should wear or bring to school tomorrow to be prepared for outdoor exploration the following day, given that it will be cold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Objectives&#8221; module_id=&#8221;citscience&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;35px|||||&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;8px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#cc232f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,3_4&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Module Heading with Icon&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;width: 15%!important;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/horizon-research.com\/sbpscience\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-13-095802.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Screenshot 2025-03-13 095802&#8243; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;70%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;EB Garamond||||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#454545&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;2.2em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#454545&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_line_height_tablet=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_line_height_phone=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Using Collected Data to Answer Questions<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;12px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the year, students are contributing data to the Ladybugs at School iNaturalist project.
