From butterflies and beetles to crickets and katydids, these
experiments, art projects, and games will bring out the entomologist in
every kid. Activities include collecting and sketching insects, making
a terrarium for observation, raising mealworms, using math to measure
bug strength, gardening to attract butterflies and other insects, and
making an insect amplifier. A unique insect board game helps kids learn
fascinating bug facts while they play. Sidebars offer a look into the
world of professional entomology, as well as gross facts about insects
that will provide great playground trivia, including the USDA's
guidelines for allowable insect parts per cup of food. Kids will learn
that science is not just something to read about, but something they
can observe and study in the world around them.
