Science Enrichment
Students become true scientists as they work to solve a scientific mystery. After hearing mysterious reports from a South Pacific island about beetles as large as 21 centimeters long, students work to solve the mystery. As a result, students are better prepared to conduct and understand scientific investigations. Through using the Scientific Method during this simulation, they learn to hypothesize, observe, draw conclusions from factual information, and carefully record their endeavors in a science journal--just like scientists do!
