The purpose of this website is to provide resources for use by teachers, county extension agents, 4-H agents, or anyone with an interest in teaching about insects. Each training module focuses on a particular group of insects and is composed of six items:

• Student’s Booklet of Activities: Contains basic activities that can be used to educate children in the 2nd through 4th grade.
• Teacher’s booklet: Provides basic outline of how each lesson should be taught as well as the answers to the questions in the Student’s Booklet.
• Pre- and Post- evaluations of students: It is important that you know the students are learning about the target arthropod. These evaluations will allow you to do so.
• Post evaluation for teachers: It is important that you receive feedback from the teachers on how the activities can be improved or expanded. We value any comments that we might receive.
• Place Mat: The place mats designed for each module focus on the biology of the target arthropod and how to suppress those that are considered harmful.
• News Article: Drafts of news articles have been prepared to summarize information about the target insect group in order to educate those reading the article. These articles can be completed by the user to fit their community.
