BeeSign: Designing to Support Mediated Group Inquiry of Complex Science by Early Elementary Students
Download full textDanish, Joshua A.; Peppler, Kylie; Phelps, David – Online Submission, 2010
All too often, designers assume that complex science and cycles of inquiry are beyond the capabilities of young children (5-8 years old). However, with carefully designed mediators, we argue that such concepts are well within their grasp. In this paper we describe two design iterations of the BeeSign simulation software that was designed to help…

Honda, Jeffrey Y. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2008
Forensic entomologists utilize insects (particularly flies) to establish the time interval between death and body discovery. This important piece of information may answer questions as to the circumstances of the individual's death and insects are now routinely utilized and recognized as being important forensic indicators. Of extreme importance…

VanCleave, Janice – CSTA Journal, 2000
Introduces young children to the safe study of insects and promotes respect for the study specimen. Children craft insects out of marshmallows, toothpicks, and cardboard and practice using a clear plastic cup to collect and observe insects through a magnifying lens. With their new skills, they can move on to studying real insects. (PVD)
