Challenge: Create a museum display of an insect.
Time: You will have up to 7 minutes to use your imagination to create a museum display of an insect, and up to 2 minutes to explain why your insect is so special.
The Scene: You and your teammates are on a scientific expedition in South America, studying the animals there. You come across an insect (a bug or a spider) that no one has ever seen before! You need to put the insect in a special package and send it to your scientist friends back home so they can put it in a museum.
Using only the materials on the table, create an insect and a special package to display your insect. The package should display the insect, and it must also show some unusual thing about the insect that makes it special (like what it eats or how old it gets). You want the whole world to kno what a special insect you have discovered!
