Pest World for Kids is a fun educational website for students in elementary school and middle school. Pest World for Kids has a great index of pests which includes information on what they look like, where they are found, and how to prevent pest infestations.
Since the last time that I visited Pest World for Kids a series of short, educational videos has been added to the site. Pest Quest is a series of short videos about insects and rodents. The first episode in the series is embedded below.
The Pest World for Kids website has four fun educational games that students will enjoy playing as they learn about insects and rodents. In the teacher section of Pest World for Kids, teachers will find lesson plans to accompany a couple of the educational games. The lesson plans are tied to standards from the National Science Teachers Association. Students and teachers will also find science fair project ideas and research essay ideas on Pest World for Kids.
