The “Advanced” version of our activity books is aimed at grades 3-5. Preview the Activity Book here.

This activity book contains:

• A life cycle maze which introduces the student to the different life stages of the beetle
• An exercise to identify and learn more about host trees
• A fill-in-the-blank worksheet about the symptoms of a beetle attack

You may mix and match to reach this amount but you must get a minimum of 25 copies of each booklet.
