Welcome!
Monarchs in the Classroom aims to promote and facilitate
inquiry-based education through original
curricula and research opportunities. We use monarchs and other insects as
focal organisms in inquiry-based teacher
workshops and conduct an annual Insect Fair
to spotlight student research. The monarch butterfly serves as an excellent tool
to get students excited about science and to teach inquiry in the classroom.
Monarchs in the Classroom is a program of University of Minnesota Extension and the University of Minnesota
Department of Fisheries, Wildlife
and Conservation Biology.
News and Updates
MBF is formed through
the merger of the Michoacán Reforestation Fund (MRF)
and the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Foundation (MBSF). While the focus of MBF will
be on the overwintering sites, in select cases conservation activities may take
place in the breeding or migratory range. MBF will support forest conservation,
restoration, and scientific research.
Insect Fair
The 14th annual Insect Fair will be held on Saturday, December 04, 2010. If you'd like to participate for the first time, please Register here. Returning teachers, please Login to your account to reactivate your registration.
