Teaching the Science of Insects with Orkin

I have a budding entomologist in my home. My 15 year old daughter is obsessed with insects. I have to confess that I know way more about insects than I would like to admit thanks to my daughter. We are even beekeepers thanks to her love of insects.

I often get asked about resources I use in my homeschool to teach her about insects. One resource I have used is Orkin. They have a nice assortment of free resources to teach your kids educational science lessons on insects.

Orkin’s educational science lessons offer different grade levels from Kindergarten to 6^th grade. They met the National Science Standards. Orkin has fun learning activities to enhance your homeschool. They have coloring pages, games, crafts, and even a fun page to listen to the different sounds that insects make.

I know most homeschoolers like to go beyond when teaching our children and Orkin has some other items online that can be helpful in your homeschool. Orkin has some articles outside of their educational science lessons you can download like a Research a Pest and a Pest ID Guide. Take a look around as you might find other interesting information for your homeschool. My daughter likes having an assortment of guides. Even with all bookshelf full of insect field guides she can’t get enough.

If your looking for a free resource to teach about insects Orkin is a great resource for your homeschool.
