At the Insectarium, our mission is to incorporate insects into classroom curriculum while achieving the assessment goals of national science standards such as the Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards. We are developing resources to supplement school field trips.

School tours are meant to be taken in place of an in-class lecture - taking the students from the textbook to an interactive lesson plan. When you bring your class, we provide follow up resources and information that can help in a follow-up activity and to gauge what their students really got out of the tour.
