Discover The World of Insects and Arachnids through the fun, unique approach used in the Great Science AdventuresSeries.

Organized around 24 lessons, each with a mini-book project, lab activity, and graphic organizer project, students will learn about:

• Who studies insects
• What insects are
• How their systems function
• What the differences between butterflies and moths are
• And more.

Lessons are written to the teacher and tie together the various elements of the curriculum. Each features primary concepts to teach, vocabulary words, a note on which “Lots of Science Library Book” mini-book to make & read, lab activities, graphic organizer instructions, and “Experience, Investigations, and Research” enrichment/extension projects. Clear directions with step-by-step, leveled instructions, pictures, and helpful information make presenting lessons easy once the pre-lesson preparation is completed. A final cumulative project completes the course.

This flexible book is designed to be used as a multilevel resource or as a curriculum guide for a single student.
