Introduction

Today you are to become a bug scientist (entomologist). On your desk you will find a box with all the supplies you need. In this box you will find eggs in which you will grow into either butterflies or ladybugs. As they grow you will need to figure out what bug you are growing. Once you know what you are growing you need to do some other research.

The last slide will need to be your own resource page.
