It appears to this reviewer that the Insectaganze materials are designed for higher intellectual level participants. There are three different levels of these entomology activity guides, and they do develop from simple to more complex. This material does allow for varying participant experience levels, but the starting point is probably at a higher level than in most projects, and might exclude the youth who has limited learning skills. There needs to be more demonstrations and activities like Big Mouth Parts, Level 1, for the beginner learner. Also, the recognition portion of this dimension is not really addressed at all.
Recognition appears to be completion.
It seems that there should be more of an organized recognition program to rate any higher on this dimension. Youth are provided with the basic content facts needed for each activity and encouraged to use those facts in a meaningful way by relating them to activities with insects and life skill development. The curriculum does an excellent job of relating science content to life skills. There is a nice balance between processing the science content along with the life skill. The only deficiency is the science process skills are not listed.
