Procedure:

Spray paint the stones using a gold color. Allow to dry. Show pictures of Egyptian scarab beetles. Discuss why the Egyptians believed they were good luck and used the scarab beetle symbol on articles that they wore. Tell students they can draw beetles or other insects on the gold stones using permanent markers. Discuss parts of the insect. Cut small circles, about the size of the stone and glue to the bottom.

 

Evaluation:

  • Paricipate in discussion
  • identify parts of an insect
  • identify Egyptian symbol
  • good craftsmanship
