Checking Acorns
It was a real scientific activity, but it was also fun. I'd like to go to an oak tree and find the acorn myself. ...Bryce

We found a larvae in an acorn with a hole. The mom drills a hole to deposit her eggs. I thought this was a really fun, and a good learning activity. Next time we need tweezers to pick up the larvae to put them in the cup. ...Emily We did find holes in the sides of the acorns when we examined them because the holes mean that there might be weevils inside. ...Kelly We found orange worms, white worms, and pink worms. ...Daniel |
I
saw lots of corn meal missing. That meant there were lots
of bugs eating it. It is neat to learn new things. ...Natasha Me and my group found magotts and a big worm. I don't know if it was a weevil or not. ...Alex It was fun and exciting. I liked seeing them come out of the acorn. ...Torrey I discovered ants and little pink things in our acorn. I would do this experiment all day. ...Derek Larvae were living in the meal and eating it. ...Michael |

We
saw weevils at the larva stage, not at the adult stage.
...Josh Some of the acorn meal was missing from the acorn. ...Mikelle Some of the acorn was hollow. There was a hole on the side. ..Brandon I found a weevil, acorn meal, larvae and worms. I thought it was fun because I never got to dissect anything before. ...Dan It was fun seeing the inside of an acorn. ...Nick We saw a tiny hole in the side of the acorn because a wevill was there. .It would be fun to keep them until they hatch. ..Levi |
Yes,
we had a tiny hole in 2 of our acorns because a weevil
put something in them. I thought it was Interesting
because we got to eggzamin the inside of an acorn. ...Sami-K It was fun and discusting. The fun part was cracking it open. The discusting part was seeing the weevil move. ...Alexa It was the best science class I ever had for now. ...Mariah The larvea was big and fat. ...Justin We saw some holes in the side of the acorn as evadance that a weevil was in there. ...Brittany Hold the knife real tight to break the acorn. ...Jorge |

I
liked the activity, but it was gross. ...Emalee We saw some trails in our acorn that had been eaten. The holes mean there are insects in them. ...Quinn We saw larvae. They were baby larvae. ...Hunter I discovered fat and skinny larvae and saw homes and orange babies. We saw larvae in the pupil stage. ...Brandon B. Just one thing for future classes, be careful with the knives and PLEASE don't get hurt. ...Jessa & Amy |

Our
group did notice that the larvae ate some of the acorn.
It would be good to have an acorn thing where we could
keep the acorn until they came out. ...Johnny It was a lot of fun because I got to split acorns open. Next time we need more acorns and baby wolf spiders. ...Mitchel I'd like to keep the larvae until they get too big to keep. ...Kaitlin I'd like to watch the larvae grow and see if it could be a weval. ...Joe |
I
found a cupfull of bugs and nuts. I found some worms and
larvae. I didn't find any holes. ...Austin O. We discovered a lot of larvae. It was fun. I liked it. Moriah accidently cut a larvae in half. We also found worms and bugs. ...Annie We didn't find any weevils but we found many larvae in the acorn. One of the acorns had many babies and no food. ...Moriah |

It
was fun and sick at the same time. I think we should wear
rubber gloves in case one crawls on you. ...Becky We saw at least 2 holes in our acorn. The hole is a sign that there is a bug inside. This activity was nasty and exciting at the same time. Larvae were crawling everywhere. ...Kaylan I thought the activity was fun because I like learning about living things. ...Claire We noticed two holes that looked like pencil marks. A hole indicates there is or was a larvea inside the acorn. ...Elizabeth |
I
thought this activity was cool because I never looked
inside an acorn before. I have no bright ideas to improve
this because I think Mr. Neph does just great. ...Haley In the acorn we found larvae and they are the grubs. We also found a worm. The weevils were at their larvae stage. Our group did notice that the larvae ate some of the acorn meal. I really liked it. I liked seeing a bug that I had never seen before. I don't have any ideas to improve the activity for the future because Mr. Neph does a good job at the activities. He makes them fun, he explains it and he works with us. ...Curtis |
