Children learn ecology more than picking up cans
By GREG BASHAW
Staff Writer
Although it was early Saturday morning and a two-hour class was ahead, the 16 grade school students in Dyche Hall jumped around the lobby in antifurant behavior.
Their instructor greeted them, saying, "If you have any questions, cringe right in front."
A boy near the front pulled on his blue sweatshirt and said, "Are you gonna show us how to do that?"

THAT BEGAN" "To Be a Bug," the first in a series of Saturday children's programs at the Museum of Natural History. Ruth Genrich, the Museum's public education director, said she hoped the classes would prepare children's interest in the natural sciences.
"Kids are interested in science," she said, "but they don't always get the knowledge of nature that they need. There's a whole lot of stuff we do that makes ecological is, just picking up beep caps."
She said the children's programs would help youngsters acquaint themselves with the natural sciences by giving them an active knowledge of nature and animals.
Activity was everywhere in Saturday's class. The children rolled around on foam mats and tried to scrutinize displayed cases filled with mounted insects, including eight-inch cribbles that looked like bamboo shoots, an orange blue spider and an array of bright butter flies.
"I insects are just another kind of animal," the instructor, Marjarie Chorbie, Lawrence graduate student, told them. "You don't have to be afraid of them."
A girl stretched out on a mat near the back of the room apparently didn't believe the pennies in her change purse, twisted her cards and did anything not to look at the buses.
Chabot showcased the children as a sets of charts that illustrated the different parts of an insect. In the corner, a creevcat boy and his friend were more interested in experimenting with the water fleas filled with floating water fleas and covered its top with a baseball cap.
Chabot told the boys back to the group and told all that "bugs" was the wrong word to use when speaking about insects. There are as many different kinds of insect as there are people, she said, and people should try to get their names right.
"For instance, all you have seen from Chabot Island, actually the firefly's, and a few."
The pigtail girl seemed to dispute this fact. She vigorously shook her head and swung her purse in big loops above her head.
Chabot showed a tacked down scorpion flea specimen.
These fleas are found all over the
house. They are found. I use to catch
them in Connecticut.
"By the beach?" asked the black-haired girl in front.
"No, this was near some lakes, but they can be found by beaches." Chabat said.
"My Grandmother lives there by the beach"
the girl said. "You think she's got accorption
feelings?"
Then all gather around a box that held a few live dragonflies. The children took turns touching the insects' transparent wings and flying them around the room, shaking silly about the room on her mat, singing.
Chabot took a covered glass terrarium from a table.
"Now we'll play with a rare insect," she
said. "This one will surprise you. It'a giant
snake."
She put her hand into the terrarium and an eight-inch cockroach with a shell as hard as wood crawled onto her palm. The crewcut boy dived under the table.

"I knew there'd be a bad part," he said.
"I knew it."
"Don't be scared," Chahot said, "This cockroach is from another country's woods. That's why he's so big. If you push on his back you'll hear him make a noise."
After class was over, the pigtailed girl was asked how she liked it.
"Boy, it was great," she said, "even better than cartoons."
