Identifying species & sharing findings with others<\/h4>\n

Purpose:<\/strong> Building on the August\/September schoolyard mapping and ladybug identification activities, students will begin to make sense of the structural differences among various species of ladybugs. Students will compare the differences between ladybugs and other insects by collecting and photographing ladybugs and using a field guide for identification. Students will learn how to share ladybug data with others by recording and uploading their data to the LLP website.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”1.6em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\"\"Continue to support students in collecting and photographing the ladybugs they find as they follow procedures introduced in August\/September. Introduce students to a ladybug field guide<\/a> (or ladybug identification sheet) describing how it is used to identify specific species of ladybugs. As a class, discuss how students might identify the ladybugs using the field guide characteristics such as thorax patterns, size, color, and location. Provide time for students to practice identifying ladybugs with printed pictures (e.g., Name that Ladybug from Aug\/Sept activity<\/a>) and then proceed with identifying student-collected ladybugs from the photographs the class has taken, including ladybugs photographed by the students earlier in the year. Focus on ladybug anatomy, characteristics<\/a> (e.g., patterns on the thorax), and stages of their life cycle to encourage comparisons with other insects.
\"\"<\/p>\n

Help students understand what information is needed for the submission form<\/a> on the LLP website, including habitat, weather, method of searching (e.g., photographed on plants, sweep net, collected by hand), and “optional” components. While using the Lost Ladybug Data Recording Sheet (PDF<\/a>, editable form<\/a>) to keep track of the ladybug identification and submission requirements, support students\u2019 continued opportunities to search outside for ladybugs (ideally, at least twice a month), reminding students of specific guidelines for outdoor protocols<\/a> and data collection. While outdoors, have students note the features of the microhabitats<\/strong> in your schoolyard where ladybugs are found, and draw attention to other organisms found that are not ladybugs and compare them: Are they insects too? How are they similar to ladybugs? How are they different from ladybugs? Tap into the students\u2019 curiosity and wonder about these other insect species and use this to enhance ladybug identification skills and classification for data reporting. Facilitate the students\u2019 class time to upload the data recorded to the Lost Ladybug website (including if ladybugs were not found).<\/p>\n

Are your students finding ladybugs at home? Consider spending some time discussing with students their home collections versus school searches, including what they might infer about your schoolyard and how it might be similar or different from their homes. This will help prepare students for data analysis in several months to follow.<\/p>\n

Did you find the same types of ladybugs and in about the same numbers as last month? As students become familiar with identifying ladybug species and review their observations from the beginning of the year, students can revisit their initial predictions related to\u00a0 the two overarching scientific questions listed in <\/span>August\/September<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Students often want to photograph their other findings, but Mr. Jones is concerned that if data collection is broadened beyond ladybugs, the amount of data (i.e., photographs) will become too overwhelming to work with and could distract students. He decides that students should record these sightings in their science notebook (rather than on the recording sheet) and that each “other finding” should somehow connect to ladybugs. For example, he encourages students to document how the other insect compares in size to a ladybug and whether it was found near a ladybug (which might suggest they share a particular habitat). In addition, Mr. Jones decides to start taking two devices outdoors to capture photos, one that is designated for ladybugs only and one that is for \u201cother interesting findings.\u201d Using this approach, he is able to upload the pictures into separate folders.

To assist students in identifying the ladybugs they find, the following field guide has been created highlighting common ladybugs of North Carolina: Common Ladybugs of NC Field Guide<\/a>. This document provides a picture, the common and scientific names, a brief description, as well as a label for exotic (non-native) and native species for each ladybug (If possible, it would be helpful to print color copies and laminate them for student use.). As students use this guide to identify the ladybugs they have found, have them pay particular attention to the color and design on the ladybug\u2019s thorax and its overall color, rather than just counting the number of spots. It is much easier to identify a ladybug by the design on its thorax than the number of spots!<\/p>\n

As this might be the first time a student is using a field guide, it would be helpful to review each part of the guide. Use photographs taken during the first month\u2019s activity to practice before using live specimens.<\/p>\n
