Insects are classified like all other living organisms. All insects are in kingdom Animalia, classified under phylum Arthropoda and class Insecta. They are further categorized by order according to features on parts of their anatomy, such as mouthparts, wings and legs. Insects occupy a variety of habitats, including dead wood, soil, aquatic environments, and dark and damp environments

In this science project, you are going to explore advanced concepts in Mendelian genetics. Our "research scientists" have genetically engineered a plant, called "plantfairies", to control insect pests. But something went wrong with our experiment, resulting in a mutant form (called plantmonsters) that are dangerous to humans. You are going to help our research team by identifying the genotypes

Ever see water striders (A type of insect) travel across the surface of pond water? Have you ever seen what happens when you add oil to water? Both examples demonstrate the concept of surface tension, a condition where the molecules of a substance are so closely attracted to each other that they form a barrier. The clinging water molecules form a barrier strong enough to support both the water

Pesticides are necessary to keep our agricultural plants safe from insect infestation. Natural pesticides are increasingly preferred, as they reduce the number of chemicals that are released into the environment. In this experiment, you will examine whether biopesticides are as effective as their chemical counterparts.

Make your own indicator paper and try this. Some stinging insects spray formic acid into the air when threatened. Find an anthill, step on it lightly to disturb the ants, without getting stung place a piece of indicator paper over the ants.

The purpose of this experiment was to test the effects of pesticides on insects. My hypotheses is that most of the insects will adapt to the insect sprays, but they will not survive the effects of the insect bait.

First students make careful observations of cockroach anatomy and behavior. Due to the reputation of the cockroach, students find them intriguing subjects of study. Assessing the behavior of these insects in a maze, allows students to decide if the cockroach manifests learning or an inability to learn. The strongest piece of this activity is challenging students to design their own controlled

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of insecticide on ladybugs. I became interested in this idea because I know that ladybugs are beneficial insects. They live around insect pests, which leads to accidental spraying of the ladybugs. Farmers need the ladybugs to help keep down pest population, and need to avoid killing them accidentally.

Why build a microscope? The following is a guide on how to build a stereoscopic microscope. This guide allows you to assemble, at a relatively low cost, an instrument that is useful for observing natural objects such as insects, plants, minerals, fossils and flowers.

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits,
science games and books - these are some of many products that can
help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop
a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for
a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review
the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going
to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to
magazines.
