Insect Records Catalog
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): insects (64)
In the Classroom
While some of the world records might make students a little queasy, (see the worlds biggest bug) this site would be an excellent way to get students interested in the study of insects. Share the site on an interactive whiteboard or projector, and allow students to explore it in groups. What would be interesting is to see how many record holders were local insects. Have students create a digital record book, including images on a site such as Bookemon, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Your Genes - Your Choices - American Association for the Advancement of Science

If your students are inexperienced conducting research you may want to use a tool like Go, Ask, Achieve, reviewed here, an interactive and engaging tool for students to learn the formal research process. After completing a little research, form teams, by topic, and divide those teams into those who are in favor of the issue or those who are against the issue.
