You can be an Entomologist<\/strong>
\nby Dino Martins, PhD
\n32 Pages; ages 4-8
\nNational Geographic Children\u2019s Books, 2019<\/p>\n

Dino grew up loving insects, so he became a scientist who studies insects. All you need to be an insect water is curiosity and patience. Curiosity because once you start watching insects you\u2019ll be asking tons of questions about what they\u2019re doing, why they look the way they look, and how can they fly backwards? Patience because you have to watch quietly and wait for insects to arrive.<\/p>\n

What I like about this book: Dino explains why scientists study insects and how the research he and other entomologists do helps farmers and other people. Some insects pollinate food crops; others eat leaves or fruits. In one chapter he describes how entomologists do their research. If you guessed that they use insect nets and record observations in notebooks, you are correct!<\/p>\n

I especially like that Dino includes a section on how insects help people \u2013 and that he thinks there are plenty more insects waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n

Head over to Archimedes Notebook<\/a> for some entomology activities.<\/p>\n
