In our classroom, we have pet mealworms. I have chosen to name mine Bonquiqui. Students love having something to take care of and mealworms don't require a lot of work. Sometimes you can use them as a reward for students, for example, if they behave you let them sit it on their desk during class. Mealworms are also great to use when discussing life cycles because they change form. Students will love to one day see their worm and then the next day, it may be a bug! You could also use the mealworms to do certain experiments or by making predictions about what types of food the mealworms may like. There are so many activities you can do with mealworms. It's really easy to find resources online, too!
