  1. BUGSCOPE Sarah Mezzanotte Education 140

  2. THE FRUIT FLY- basic facts • Common name: drosophila • Small, red-eyed insects • Range in length from 1/8”-1/4” • Very common image from http://www.biology.ualberta.ca/courses.hp/bio207.hp/lab/fly_lab/fruit_fly.jpg

  3. Where are fruit flies found? • Can be found just about anywhere • Homes • Restaurants • Grocery stores • Will lay their eggs near fermenting or rotting foods Image from http://www.lmdco.com/insects/mexican_fruit_fly.jpg Image from http://aesric.ucdavis.edu/fnric2/OliveFruitFlyProject/fruitfly.jpg

  4. Large breeding and reproductive capacity Can lay up to 500 eggs at a time Life cycle: about one week, from larvae to adult Can be considered “pests” To avoid infestations, eliminate breeding areas Eat ripened produce, or discard it Reproduction & More

  5. Examining the Fruit Fly

  6. Examining the fruit fly • The first drawing (upper left) was created by using only the naked eye. Not much detail is evident. • The second drawing (lower left) was done using the hand lens and dissection scope. Notice more detail became apparent. • The last imagecomes from the ESEM through the Bugscope project. It shows the close-up of the fruit fly’s eye. The magnification was 10,000x. This image shows us details that we would never be able to see using the naked eye and the hand lens. • Internet image from http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=fruit+fly/v=2/SID=e/l=IVI/SIG=12hh6jak1/EXP=1129063270/*http%3A//news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/810000/images/_812762_fly300.jpg

  7. How can Bugscope be used in classrooms? • National Science Education Standards • Life Science standards for grades K-4 • Addresses characteristics of organisms • Bugscope helps students examine various insects so they can learn about the insect and what distinct features they have that they might not be able to see simply by looking at the insect

  8. Authenticity of Technologies • Are the students actually learning something from this activity? • Comparing/contrasting what you can see simply from looking at it or through the microscope the microscope shows details that you would never see with the naked eye • Asking questions • Chat capability allows students to interact with real entomologists

  9. Literature Sources that connect to Bugscope • Children’s literature: Diary of a Spider by Doreen Cronin • Trade book: Insect (Eye Witness series) by DK Publishing • Reference book: Encyclopedia of Insects by Vincent H. Resh

  10. How can Bugscope be applied to other activities? • Language Arts • The Bugscope project could be used in writing to compare and contrast insects. Or, students could write about how they were able to see different features depending on what technology was used. • Art • Students could create models of the insects using the images from Bugscope.

  11. Works Cited • Insects and Other Pests • http://people.lis.uiuc.edu/~kawski/mastergardener/mgfqinsects.htm • University of Kentucky Entomology • http://www.uky.edu/Agriculture/Entomology/entfacts/struct/ef621.htm
