FAIRFAX, Va. – The Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA) is offering educational resources and materials for students from pre-K to eighth grade on its children’s website, PestWorldForKids.org.
“As pest management professionals, we’re all aware of the importance of education, especially when it comes to the exotic and expansive world of bugs and insects,” said PPMA Executive Director Cindy Mannes. “By incorporating pest-related topics into early education, we can help familiarize students with pest behaviors and biology, so they understand what makes a particular insect a pest once it comes indoors.”
Categorized by grade level, the website provides educational resources such as crafts, videos, e-books and interactive games. The educational materials on the website support education standards from the National Science Teachers Association and National Council of Teachers of English, according to the PPMA.
“Utilizing the resources available on PestWorldForKids.org, parents can create a classroom in their own backyard with critters crafts and pest guides, while teachers can bolster their fall curriculum with bug-focused lesson plans and science fair kits,” Mannes said.
