Instructional Ideas

  • Invite an employee from a local pest management company to speak to the class about his or her profession and their experience dealing with insects 
  • Take your class on an insect hunt, examine a space outside to discover different bugs that live there 
  • Visit the library or computer lab to research additional information about insects   

Classroom Considerations

  • The lesson is the second of four resources in an insect-themed series 
  • Keep classroom allergies in mind (grass, pollen, bee stings, etc.) prior to conducting the lesson outside or with living things 
  • Pupils may become squirmy if they have an aversion to bugs 

Pros

  • Includes real-world pictures of insects 
  • Offers well-designed worksheet pages with clear objectives  

Cons

  • Some graphics appear out of focus
