Specimens in the set, grouped here to help with teaching:
Because the set mixes true insects with spiders, scorpions, crabs and shrimps, it is ideal for the classic classification question: what makes an insect an insect? Students count legs and body sections, look for antennae and wings, and sort the specimens into arachnids, crustaceans and insects before going further into insect orders such as beetles, bees and wasps, crickets, true bugs, flies, dragonflies and butterflies.
The set also supports lessons on adaptation, from the digging forelegs of the mole cricket and the swimming legs of the diving beetle to the long jumping legs of the grasshopper. Place specimens at numbered stations with a dichotomous key and a hand lens, and return each to its foam slot afterwards. It serves well as a reference collection alongside a school insect collection kit.
