Little Creatures in a Big World

"Insects: Little Creatures in a Big World... is clearly the best." — Gary A. Dunn, M.S., F.R.E.S., Education Director

Entomologists worked with teachers to produce this well researched CD-ROM that closely examines over 600 insects from around the world. Teachers appreciate the proven educational design, and students really enjoy using the program. The CD is packed with engaging and fun features:

The ELECTRON MICROSCOPE examines a host of insects in incredible detail.
Use the OSCILLOGRAM to analyze insects’ sounds.
The QUIZ section contains hundreds of questions and answers.
Try to solve the BEETLE PUZZLE — or build your own beetles.
Learn how to IDENTIFY and locate insects on six continents.
The BUG CATCHING section explains the different orders of insects and the concept of taxonomic identification.
10 mini-videos detail the impact of insects on our environment.

Insects: Little Creatures in a Big World comes with a Teachers’ class activity guide to assist you in the use of the program in your classroom. Insects has a proven educational design to help your students:
