An interview with biologist David Pearson, an author and expert on tiger beetles. Did you know that tiger beetles can run so fast that they go blind and just what would it be like to be hunted by these tiny, but ferocious animals? These are a few of the questions that we learn the answer from our guest biologist.

Two ants, along with others from their nest, set out to gather crystals for their queen. Initially staying and keeping crystals for themselves, the two ants eventually learn to be happy in their familiar nest.

The University of Florida Book of Insect Records (UFBIR) names insect champions and documents their achievements. Each chapter deals with a different category of record.

Insects are an excellent resource for science education. Many insects are easily maintained in the classroom and can happily thrive despite being handled and kept in captivity. The remarkable diversity in form and function of commonly found insects promotes interest and enthusiasm in observing the natural world. Insects can also be used to model a variety of scientific principles.

The objectives of this page are to give educators basic information about insects and ideas on how to use insects in the classroom.

This activity is a field investigation where students will compare the biodiversity of two separate habitats based on the collection and identification of insects.

This webpage provides a fairly extensive list of animals, along with some insects. The Arabic names for animals and insects are listed in chart format, and include their English translation. The chart is prefaced with a brief commentary on Arabic grammar as it pertains to the chart.

Ever wondered what's inside a Wasp Nest? We cut this GIANT one in half!! Crazy!

So many of our flowers, fruit and vegetables need to be pollinated. Who are the pollinators and why is there so much buzz about helping bees? Check out the Bee Entomologist video to learn how the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla are researching and caring for the pollinators of their First Foods like huckleberries and cous roots. In the Discovery Challenge video, explore what insects and other invertebrates live in your yards and school yards. Then design, build and set out bee nests for native cavity nesting bees.

This lesson introduces NGSS standards, and those standards are listed in the lesson and is part of the Explore Science Club series, an online Career Connected Learning program developed by the Greater Oregon STEM Hub. To learn more find us at: www.go-stem.org.

An interview with biologist Gro Amdam, one of the members of the group that brought us the bee genome. Hey just what is a genome and could bees hold the answer to aging? In this show we learn the answers to these questions and why researchers are buzzing around bees.
