TEACHERS, CONSIDERING A TRIP TO THE GARDEN WITH YOUR STUDENTS?

K through 5 Learning

 These resources are all provided compliments of Blake Newton, Extension Entomologist for the University of Kentucky. Their Web site is rich with additional information and ideas for how to educate children about insects and various other Kentucky "critters." We also have programs for schools, groups, and organizations that can be customized for your specific needs. Entomology Resources
