- Baker & Taylor
Introduces the different types of insects and describes how they eat, mate, fly, and communicate, and includes insect-related experiments throughout the book. - Baker & Taylor
Easy-to-do activities and experiments provide interactive fun in understanding the diverse and strange world of insects, their unique characteristics, and the special skills they possess. Simultaneous. - Perseus PublishingMost experts believe there are over 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects digging, boring, flying, crawling, and excreting their way in and around the Earth. Thatâs about a billion billion bugs for every single person. And thatâs not even counting their close relatives, the arachnids, which include spiders, lice, ticks, scorpions, and mites. So, if we humans really are that outnumbered, wouldnât it be a good idea to learn a little more about our insect overlords? Helaine Beckerâs latest activities guide does just that. Following the same format as her critically acclaimed Science on the Loose, which demystified science through fun and silly experiments, The Insecto-Files investigates the hidden lives of insects. It blends little-known facts about bugs with a wealth of easy-to-do activities that are as entertaining as they are educational. Packed with Beckerâs trademark blend of energy, irreverence, and information, The Insecto-Files offers budding entomologists a gleeful guerilla approach to learning about the wonderful world of bugs.
