Abstract

The article discusses a project called "Museums in Miniature" that aims to bring entomology education to South Carolina classrooms. The project involves creating mini-museums filled with preserved insect specimens and educational materials, which are then distributed to schools and libraries across the state. The mini-museums provide students with hands-on learning experiences and help foster an appreciation for insects and biodiversity. The project was funded by the Entomological Society of America's Chrysalis Fund and the South Carolina Entomological Society, and it has been successful in engaging students and promoting science education.
