This unique variety of insect specimens is the perfect observational tool for biology. 

The Insects and Spiders small set has a range of six observable creepy crawlies that will encourage students to research the bodies, habitats, and lifecycles of different species. With real life examples to work with, this product provides students with a more comprehensive biological understanding of the world we live in.  

Practical and fun

Every bug is encased inside strong resin slabs that have been updated to include clear labels of each creature’s name. These can be placed inside foam inserts of the products box which is visually stimulating and conveniently sized for classroom storage. 

Additional resources

Included is a teacher’s guide that provides students with games and activities related to learning about the insects. Furthermore, this guide provides students with in-depth information about the origins and anatomy of different species.  

In the classroom, students can use these specimens to assist studying biological topics, such as anatomy, lifecycle, habitat, and interactions between species. Students may wish to work independently or in groups to conduct a research project on one of the six specimens. Whilst the specimens are intended for studying science, students may wish to use these as inspiration for creative writing and making art.
