Insects at Work in Our World teacher workshop

Discover the world of insects and inspire future entomologists! Explore three diverse areas—wetlands, prairie, and woodlands—in search of insects and their relatives. Learn to identify and sort insects and investigate how they grow, change, and perform the jobs they do to benefit our environment. Make your own insect collection for your classroom. Using observation, science inquiry and journaling, explore the fascinating world of insects with your apprentice entomologists.

About the teacher workshop

Teachers expand their knowledge of the importance insects have in our lives and in nature through many NGSS-aligned explorations. Teachers take home their own insect collection to use in the classroom!

“It was 100% practical! I loved learning things that I knew I’d be able to use in the classroom. I entered the workshop at my principal’s request, though I had little love of insects personally, but I left it appreciating insects and all they do for our world.”
