School Programs
Age-appropriate curricula for students of all ages are presented by District staff. Staff are currently available for outdoor in-person presentations, or for remote presentations (including remote field trips to visit our laboratory!).
A variety of materials are available for borrowing for in-class use for all ages and grade levels. These materials include:
The Preschool Lending Library kit includes a variety of insect-themed books, manipulatives, and puzzles.
- specialized aquaria to view the mosquito lifecycle in action,
- picture books about insects and diversity in the field of entomology/field biology,
- collections of picture-rich reference and field guides for classroom use,
- and insect-themed puzzles and games for a fun and interactive learning experience.
A mosquito aquarium stays in the classroom for a few weeks so students can learn about the mosquito life cycle.
Curricula themes for older students can include: life cycles, ecology/environmental biology, chemistry, and informed consumerism.
