Lee County Mosquito Education
The Lee County Mosquito Education classroom programs are conducted in collaboration with classroom teachers. Programs are designed for students in kindergarten, 5th grade, 7th grade, and high school chemistry and biology classes. These environmental science programs support Florida's Next Generation Sunshine State Standards in a variety of areas. Films, readings, slide programs, discussions, art activities and lab experiences are utilized to teach the objectives of each unit. In addition, our instructors are active with local, state, and national committees devoted to mosquito control and environmental education.
Environmental Education
EE provides authentic experiences for teachers and students in our local environment. Our environment includes not only our natural resources, but also our cultural and historical resources as well. The core of the program is the system of Community Study Units and their associated field trips. Students have opportunities to visit and learn about the major habitat types of Southwest Florida and key historic sites. Many other instructional, curricular, and training opportunities are included in the EE Program.
