  • MOUTHPART, LEG, WING, ANTENNA: The 12 slides are carefully selected to demonstrate the interesting parts of different insects that children can appreciate. For instance, the digging leg of a cricket is distinctly different from the swimming leg of a water beetle because of their different functions. By observing the slides, children learn to appreciate different shapes and structures of insect and relate them to how the insect moves or eats.
  • OBSERVE, THINK, AND CONCLUDE: The set is also designed to instill scientific thinking to children. Firstly, the child is able to observe the parts. Then with the aid of postcards, the kid can consider how the insect uses the body parts. And finally, using the real beetle specimen, the kid can apply what he or she has learnt to draw conclusions about the beetle’s life.
  • CLEAR OPTICAL GLASS SLIDES: Samples are professionally prepared on optical glass slides for clear viewing.

Purchased as a Christmas gift with a microscope for 10 year old. He loves learning about insects & animals. He and his 7 year old sister thoroughly enjoyed the slides, information cards & the bonus beetle.

I order these for my nephews to help give them new activists while in quarantine. They have been having a blast and to my surprise there was a full size cricket body to examine which was also a huge hit.

We have a whole science set up in our sons room so naturally we have a microscope, he has been so tired of his same old slides and he loves bugs so he was so excited to get bug part slides from Santa in his stocking! You can see with or without the microscope really, but you can see all the details with the scope on though. The extra bug is really cool too?

Love these slides! I do tons of insect-related outreach with 4th grade-7th grade kids and used these for the first time this past week. Kids are always so excited to use microscopes, and giving them the opportunity to look through a wide variety of insect morphologies really gets their curiosity juices flowing. The slides were super clear - some you could see well with just a hand-held magnifying glass. I also used these on a dissecting scope, not a compound scope and they worked great, but I like that I could use either scope type. The info cards were also nice because our activities center around cockroaches and honeybees, so the info provided on the cards really supplements the lesson.
