Step into the world of insects and plants with our Bugs and Blooms Unit Study Kit!

This unit invites kids to explore the busy, interconnected world of bugs and plants. Learners will discover how pollinators help plants grow, how insects and flowers depend on each other, and how life cycles unfold right outside their door. Through hands-on activities and creative projects, your kids will experience the wonders of nature in a fun and meaningful way.

Your kids will explore science, nature, and life cycles through activities like:

  • Learn about pollinators and their important role
  • Explore how plants and insects depend on each other
  • Observe and model a plant life cycle
  • Identify and label parts of a flower
  • Build and design your own insect model
  • Create butterfly-inspired art
  • Explore bugs through hands-on observation
  • Make a dirt pudding snack
  • Connect learning to the world outside your home

And more!

Whether they’re building bugs, creating art, or observing nature, your learners will develop a deeper understanding of the natural world—and have fun doing it.

This unit study includes 25+ activities, organized into eight easy-to-follow, open-and-go lessons. Schoolhouse Discoveries hands-on unit studies are designed for homeschool families and can serve as a core Science and Social Studies curriculum for grades K–4th or a supplement for 5–6th grade. Each unit also weaves in Language Arts, Math, Art, STEM, Sensory Play, Cooking, Health, and Movement.

By using multiple themed kits throughout the year, families can build a complete, well-rounded curriculum rooted in hands-on, family-style learning.

Learning Tips

We’ve divided the learning experiences into eight sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit. The activities in this kit were designed for K to 4th graders. But we know kids are at all different levels and interests, so feel free to skip or add-to an activity if it isn’t right for your child(ren). That’s what Schoolhouse Discoveries are all about - having fun learning and finding ways that best fit your needs.
