Iowa Public Television

They're creepy and they're crawly, but they're awesome! Students learn what it takes to be part of the largest group of animals in the world. Students are invited to get up close and personal with a giant cockroach and other 'creepy crawly critters' by exploring the fascinating world of insects. This interactive program also allows time for students to ask questions, so come prepared.

Following the ICN session, registrants receive the complimentary books, Waiting for Wings and Butterflies or alternate titles.
