National Pollinator Week is celebrated worldwide each year in June. The timing of it doesn’t coincide well with the school year. What is essential is that we teach kids about pollinators and their importance. Here are eight activities that will help you do just that! Pick out a
Our Science Units are Aligned to NGSS As each science unit was developed, we studied each Next Generation Science Standard. In addition, we looked closely at all of the NGSS evidence statements that go with each standard. The evidence statements give added detail about what students should know and be
, Learning About Insects Most kids are fascinated by insects! The estimated number of insect species in the world is 900,000, so it should be easy for students to find one that they would like to discover more about. Overview of Insects It’s fun to start with phenomena
