Silkworms are a classroom favorite because they are easy to care for, fun to observe:

The bottom drawer of my refrigerator at home has a quart yogurt container with thousands of eggs from last June. We've been raising silkworms each year at Frederick Douglass Elementary School since 1990. There are about 700 students (pre-k to grade 8) at Douglass. My school in North Philadelphia is an ideal site for the project.

I've been raising them[silkworms] for years (first as a preschool teacher and now as a kinder teacher) and I just collect the eggs, put them in a Tupperware and stick in the back of the fridge. Freezing tends to kill the eggs. Cheers, Lindsay

GO KBLB.
Seems like grades preK-8 can handle them.
As long as Chokem doesnt put them in the freezer he should do just fine.

Yes all I Would need would be a couple of live silk worms give them to any silk producing company around the world and they would be able to create more worms. I don't think it's that difficult to take care of a few insects. I don't know the first thing about silk worms and I could find out anything I would have to know to keep them alive and fed in two hours. And the wouldnt be stupid enough to call it monster silk and then kblb would have to fight to prove otherwise.

Raising worms is easy. Hence middle schoolers doing it. It's called cloning. It would not be hard to clone a silkworm. They have done it with farm animals.
