This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Animal Care.

In this Badge Bit you will make a silk worm system.  It can't be a kit but you can use store bought materials to construct it.  



Minimum requirements:
  - it must have ventilation

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
  - starting materials
  - cage under construction
  - completed silk worm cage
  - eggs or larva going in
  - a week or two later with the worms growing

 
Take me to the scene of the crime. And bring that tiny ad:
