Mosquitoes and ticks are often looked at as the scourge of summer. These fascinating creatures fill an important niche. Explore how they live, the various types and diseases they carry, and where they are found. Participants will see how scientists sample and study them with hands-on fieldwork. Other hands-on activities will be conducted, and you'll receive supplemental educational resources. Educators of all grade levels are welcome to register and attend the workshop, but may need to adapt the materials as appropriate. Supplemental classroom resources will be provided. Professional Development Hours are available. Sponsored by the IDNR, this workshop is part of the ENTICE (Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education) program.
