In this episode, Jessi and Squeaks learn what it takes to be a "true bug". Scientists use the word "bug" to refer to a special group of insects, so not all insects (or other critters like spiders) are bugs!

Teachers and parents: scroll down to check out the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for this episode!

First Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Idea:

LS1.A: Structure and Function - All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air (1-LS1-1).

Performance Expectation:

1-LS1-1. Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

Third Grade Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Idea:

LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms - Reproduction is essential to the continued existence of every kind of organism. Plants and animals have unique and diverse life cycles (3-LS1-1).

Performance Expectation:

3-LS1-1 Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death
