Can you see your mealworm growing or changing?

What details can we see when we have a close look at our mealworms?

Carefully take your mealworm and have a close look at its features.

Time to make your own mealworm creation!

Using play dough (or leaves, twigs gumnuts etc from the garden) make a model of your Mealworm?

Make it far bigger than its normal size and add as many small features as you can see on your mealworm. You may wish to use a toothpick or pencil to mark in some details.

Remember when you put them back in their oats – it is time to give them some fresh carrot.

*If you need a little help looking up close there’s a pic of our mealworm friend on our science blog page.

Take a picture of your finished mealworm model and email it to davea@woodfordps.vic.gov.au so Mr.A can have look.
