Flash Cards of Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America

Flash cards are recognized as an effective teaching/learning tool because they use visualization to associate information. Since 2002, images and information about freshwater invertebrates in J. Reese Voshell's popular book A Guide to Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America have been used by teachers and students at all levels and in biomonitoring activities by a wide range of people from citizen volunteers to professional scientists.

There will be three sets of flash cards:

Set One--Major Classes and Orders
Set Two--Families of Mollusks, Stoneflies, Mayflies, and Caddisflies
Set Three--Families of Other Insects

release date: fall 2009

QuickGuide to Major Groups of Freshwater Invertebrates
Flash Cards of Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America Set One

The QuickGuide is an easy and reliable aid to identifying common freshwater invertebrates to the taxonomic level of class or order, a level that is often satisfactory for teaching or learning the basics of freshwater ecology and for the biological monitoring of streams or ponds.

Release date September 2009.
