Designed to present interesting facts about science and to heighten the curiosity of primary age students, this book contains suggestions for students to investigate the natural world and numerous black and white illustrations. The activities focus on nine easily recognized insects: bees, beetles, lady bugs, lightning bugs, ants, mosquitoes, flies, butterflies, and moths. Exercises are also included on the parts of insects and the types on insects. Directives for the individual activities are provided in the teacher/parent guide section. These include suggestions for: (1) discussion questions; (2) the actual activities; (3) vocabulary list; and in most cases (4) extended activities. (ML)
