Class 5-1 in Burlington Ontario is setting up a Malaise Trap from September 19th to 30th. We will be tracking the temperature, weather, and what insects we have found.

Finally here!
Hello from Castle Oaks Public School! We’re getting ready to pitch out trap tent! Looking forward to a great catch.
Students had a great time predicting the types of insects that may end up in our trap. One student desperately wanted to pose a question to his classmates:
Q: Why do bees have sticky hair?
A: Because they have honeycombs!
6A is very excited about this project and are looking forward to a very successful two weeks!
Westminster Central P.S.
We received our box! We are excited to get set up this week!
Brentwood College Malaise trap is now set up
Here on the West coast of BC you can see the Saanich inlet where our school is located. Kate L took some time out of her Saturday morning school schedule to set up the trap for her Biology 12AP class. Kayakers and BC Ferry in the backdrop to a beautiful day here on Vancouver Island.
Opening the package!
Students at Elizabeth Ziegler have fun opening up the “mystery” package!
Getting Started
Looking forward to getting the ball started with my class next week!
Nearly 1 Week Till Trap Deployment!
Hello #bioSMTP participants!
As you are already aware we are approaching trap deployment; it’s just around the corner (Sept. 19 – 30)! As such, a package containing all the materials you will require to run the program has been sent to you via FedEx (please alert your front office). Depending on your location, you should expect to receive this package by the end of this week, or for further locations, next week.
Once you receive your program package and Malaise Trap (or even if you haven’t yet), we encourage you to start blogging!
Introduce us to your school/class and tell us about the location you have chosen for your Malaise Trap (don’t forget to add a picture or two!). Also, feel free to tweet @SMTP_Canada to share your posts/pictures!
The #bioSMTP team has found the perfect location for their trap – what do you think?
We are excited to get started!
