Buzz An Insect

Lessons/Activities 12

Partnership For The Delaware Estuary

 

Review the directions for our open meadow insect scavenger hunt before beginning this insect challenge. What challenge insects would you expect to find in our meadow? I hope this paper and field search doesn't bug you! Get the joke!

 

I, also, hope you are not afraid of insects. There's one hidden in each sentence below. Look at the example below before beginning. Try to find an insect in exact order in each sentence. If you weren't frightened at the beginning of these directions, I am sure you will be frightened now. If you want to try keeping score of your work, multiply the number of letters in the insect times the number of letters in the largest word in the sentence to find your score.

Example…I wonder if lying is bad! * is placed over largest word

Answer…I wonder if lying is bad!

Answer…I wonder if lying is bad! Score…3 x 6 = 18
