Entomology

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Beginning with some general trivia about insects, this presentation is geared toward agricultural concerns. It covers binomial nomenclature and then examines six insect orders. Insect anatomy and life cycles are featured. The final two slides assign viewers to make flash cards of different insects. Not a single photograph of an insect or diagram of anatomical structures is included. To make this worthwhile, take some time to add these visual aids.
