A few students are studying an insect collection with a magnifying glass; others are buzzing like bees and hopping like grasshoppers. In one corner a teacher reads about insects to a rapt audience. This Head Start classroom in Alachua County, Florida, has been excited by a unique science and literature project called Marvelous Explorations through Science and Stories-MESS.
