This website has links to some great activities to do with kids that could go along with any lesson about insects. (They also provide resources for other topics as well!)

http://www.west-ext.com/fun-stuff/colorbook.pdf - This link provides a pdf of a coloring book where students can color pictures of several different insects, and it can be a great lead in to learning about and comparing insects.

http://www.west-ext.com/fun-stuff/InsectTrivia1.pdf - This pdf is a sheet of trivia that teachers can use as an introductory activity, to see what the kids already know, or to get them excited for things they are going to learn!

http://www.allaboutnature.com/subjects/insects/printouts.shtml -This website has many different worksheets and activities that cover various insects and various topics related to insects. I especially like the Insect Report Chart Printout found at:http://www.allaboutnature.com/graphicorganizers/animalrpt/insect.shtml. However, only a thumbnail version is available, unless you become a member of Enchanted Learning. Still, it provides teachers with an idea of an activity where students can research about an insect, and share what they've learned with the class.

The site also has several printouts where students can label body parts of various insects, which can be a great way to compare and contrast them, as well as more coloring pages.
