    This document outlines the activities and readings for a week-long unit on grasshoppers and crickets. Each day focuses on a different topic, such as grasshopper and cricket anatomy, behaviors, and their roles as herbivores and omnivores. Core readings include non-fiction books and articles. Hands-on activities involve observing live grasshoppers and crickets in the field and lab, and estimating temperature based on cricket songs. The unit emphasizes that grasshoppers and crickets undergo incomplete metamorphosis and compares them as agricultural pests versus omnivores.
