DOWNLOAD PRINTABLE WORKSHEETS FROM WWW.SILLYBEDBUGS.COM
Bed bugs are real! Common bed bugs are tiny, parasitic insects that have been around for many centuries. They feed preferentially on human blood but are also known to obtain blood meals from bats, poultry, pets (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, rodents), livestock and laboratory animals. They can be found in all 50 states of the U.S. and in many other countries. Within the past few years, bed bugs infestations have dramatically increased and have created major concern for society and for pest management professionals. They are thought to be the most difficult and expensive insect pests to control in the United States. Anyone, at anytime, anywhere can come in contact with bed bugs. By being aware of signs of infestation in our daily activities, we all can play our part to prevent spreading these pests. Silly Bed Bugs was designed to raise awareness among students about bed bug infestations and what they can do to help prevent the spread of bed bugs.
The curriculum is designed to provide hands-on activities to increase students’ understanding and awareness of bed bugs. It was designed with the intent to help students become more familiar with bed bugs, empower students to take control of their health, and understand what they can do in the event they get bed bugs
Silly Bed Bugs is a school enrichment curriculum that targets grades 3-5. Both group and individual activities encourage participation and action in all aspects of this program. Teachers are encouraged to select learning activities that are most suitable to their students, as some activities may be more appropriate for some audiences than others.
Silly Bed Bugs is organized so that educators can either use the activities together as an entire unit, or independently to supplement other curricula. The activities are ready-to-use and easy to implement without having to assemble hard-to-find materials. All the reference sheets, activity sheets, games, and background information necessary to complete the activities are included in the guide. Silly Bed Bugs is activity-based and uses the experiential learning model to help students better internalize the information presented and apply it to their lives. It focuses on helping students develop life skills as well as the subject matter skills. In addition, the curriculum is interdisciplinary and has activities that can be used in science, language arts, health, art, and geography.
