This curriculum includes 12 lessons to immerse K-6th grade students in integrated pest management (IPM) and pest control education, specifically in an urban setting. Each lesson comes with a PDF with a detailed explanation of the activity, along with additional resources and links. Chapters like “#12: All about insects” focus on entomological pests, while other chapters focus on rodents or generalized pests.

This is a nice IPM curriculum, field tested in schools! Unfortunately, it is also >20 years old, and nearly all the resource links inside the PDF curriculum link are broken. That’s a shame, because otherwise it is a good resource full of activities and worksheets. We would love to see this rewritten with new extension activities and updated standards.
