Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of teaching instruments, in particular to an insect observation teaching aid. Background Technique

[0002] As the largest group of living things on the earth, insects have appeared on the earth for about 300 million years, much earlier than most dinosaurs. After countless crustal movements and climate changes, dinosaurs no longer exist, while insects are still active everywhere on the earth by virtue of their diverse survival methods.

[0003] After the promulgation of the 2022 new curriculum standards by the Ministry of Education, the teaching of science disciplines (including biology) emphasizes more on the core concept that teaching oriented by literacy encourages students to learn independently, supplemented by the guidance of teachers, highlighting the listening, watching, speaking, thinking and doing in the learning process, eliminating the problem of "cramming" in traditional teaching activities, and stimulating the learning motivation. As the largest group in the animal kingdom, insects are an important part of the ecosystem. In schools and zoos, the display is mainly of live insects or insect specimens, lacking more detailed supporting popular science materials, which is not conducive to carrying out classification learning and morphological research related to insects, and it is difficult to stimulate students' interest in insects and biology. Therefore, developing an observation teaching aid suitable for the corresponding school stage, which can not only see live insects or insect specimens, but also facilitate the comparison and analysis of the external structure characteristics of insects, and summarize and master basic entomological knowledge, has practical significance for strengthening students' subject literacy in biology.

[0005] To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an insect observation teaching aid, including a main body bracket equipped with bearings, an annular turntable, a combined insect box and an annular glass cover. The annular turntable is connected to the main body bracket through bearings. The combined insect box is located inside the annular turntable. The annular glass cover is located above the main body bracket, and the annular turntable rotates under the annular glass cover to display various insects.

[0006] For the above-mentioned insect observation teaching aid, the main body bracket is provided with a sleeve, a circular ring base and a support cap. The lower part of the sleeve is vertically connected to the inner hole of the circular ring base. The annular turntable is located at the upper end of the bearing and sleeved outside the sleeve. The support cap supports the annular glass cover at the top of the sleeve.

[0007] For the above-mentioned insect observation teaching aid, a plurality of vertical baffles are provided on the annular turntable. The vertical baffles are evenly distributed and divide the annular turntable into a plurality of fan-shaped spaces with the same shape.

[0008] One of the above-mentioned insect observation teaching aids, there are multiple combined insect boxes which are respectively placed in the fan-shaped annular space. Each combined insect box includes an open drawer, an insect display box with a box cover and an insect information box. The open drawer is provided with a fan-shaped bottom plate and a middle plate.

The wall of the insect display box is provided with ventilation holes. The insect information box is located below the open drawer. Popular science materials and physical model teaching aids related to the insects in the insect display box are placed in the insect information box.

[0009] One of the above-mentioned insect observation teaching aids further includes a bearing retainer, a support arm and an LED spotlight. The retainer is located on the circular base and encloses the bearing. The LED spotlight is connected to the retainer through the support arm, and the light of the LED spotlight shines on the insect display box.

[0010] An insect observation teaching aid provided by the present utility model is provided with a main body bracket equipped with a bearing, a circular turntable, a combined insect box and a circular glass cover. The circular turntable is connected to the main body bracket through the bearing. The combined insect box is located inside the circular turntable. The circular glass cover is located above the main body bracket. The circular turntable rotates under the circular glass cover to display various insects.

[0011] The beneficial technical effects of the present utility model are as follows: First, this teaching aid can be used by more than three students to observe and learn insect biological knowledge at the same time, improving the teaching quality and efficiency. Second, the light of the LED spotlight shines on the insect display box. By turning the circular turntable by hand and with the assistance of a magnifying glass, students can clearly observe the overall morphology of various insects. Third, students can also conveniently take out the popular science materials in the insect information box, such as the equal-scale models, and further study insect knowledge by comparing with the insects, stimulating the learning interest in natural science. Fourth, the present utility model is not only applicable to classroom teaching, but also can be widely used in interest groups and science and nature museums, opening the door to nature for students and conveying the concept of "caring for insects and protecting biodiversity". This teaching aid can be used independently or as a supplementary display of insects. Under the guidance of teachers, students can explore the mysteries of the insect world with their classmates, acquire knowledge and scientific research methods. Through the teaching aid, understand the connection between insects and the earth's ecological environment and be willing to improve the earth's ecological environment by changing their own behaviors.
