Abstract
Our major goal for this project was to study how insects, specifically Manduca sexta caterpillars, could be used to further this method of integrated, hands-on learning. Aided by their teachers, the children were responsible for keeping track of changes in caterpillar weight, as well as recording any notable differences between the control and experimental group (discussed under "Materials and Methods"). At the end of the project, the children were required to analyze and interpret their results. All of the classroom activities for this project were performed by us in cooperation with the children's two teachers. The activities were designed to be appropriate for the grade level, and also to serve as methods the instructors could use in teaching about scientific and life processes.
