Homeschool BioLab: Entomology 101: Insect Pinning & Identification at Emerson Point Preserve
Step into the role of an entomologist with Homeschool Bio Lab! In this session, students will learn how to carefully preserve insects through the art of bug pinning. We?ll discuss proper collection techniques, specimen handling, species identification, and the importance of ethical practices. Once pinned, participants will explore methods for identifying insects using field guides and classification keys, gaining a deeper understanding of insect anatomy and diversity.
By the end of class, each student will have their own pinned specimen to take home, along with new skills in insect identification and taxonomy. This lab is a perfect mix of science, discovery, and hands-on practice. Program recommended for ages 10-15. Homeschool Bio Lab is an advanced course where we explore higher scientific concepts and the scientific method through dissections, chemistry, and biology experiments. No refunds available.
