Insect Investigation

Who’s hiding in the grass, buzzing in the breeze, and swimming in the stream? Through hands-on field investigation, educational games, and songs, students will explore the characteristics of bug habitats and discover their unique adaptations. Along the way, they will learn exactly what classifies a bug as a true insect. This program is available at a few locations, each featuring distinct environments for catching and studying these fascinating tiny creatures.
