Amazing diversity and adaptations of invertebrates.
Did you know that 95 percent of all animals on Earth are invertebrates?
Students become scientists to meet and explore the incredible diversity of the world’s smallest creatures.
Students participate in a variety of hands-on activities including an exciting bug hunt, to learn about the role invertebrates play in our food chain and discover unique adaptations that help them to survive and thrive in their forest habitat.
