Insectigations: 40 Hands-on Activities to Explore the Insect World
Insectigations: 40 Hands-on Activities to Explore the Insect World

Raising mealworms, testing the visual acuity of bees, setting up a watering hole for

butterflies–these are just a few of the 40 activities included in this earnest

introduction to entomology. Each of eight chapters focuses on a different topic, such as

physical and behavioral characteristics; metamorphosis; communication; methods to attract,

collect and keep insects, etc. The dense main text covers the basic facts on each topic,

while directions for the activities are interspersed among its pages–from three to nine

per chapter. They include science experiments; art projects; the crafting of homemade

traps, nets, and temporary cages (safety warnings are included); keeping a scientific

journal; and creating a board game. Most are fairly simple and employ inexpensive

materials. Sidebars appear throughout with bits of information on the ways insects are

used in medicine, business, and science; accounts of entomologists' research;

miscellaneous facts; and addresses of related Web sites. Clear line drawings, diagrams of

body parts and project materials, plus the occasional black-and-white photograph are found

on almost every page. Although the format is a bit unwieldy, the text is clearly written

and well organized.
