Poison Dart Frog
 

LENGTH:
It will take an average reader over a half hour to get to the "solve-it" page, and 10 minutes or so to read the Conclusion. There are both English and Spanish versions.

WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
Pre-Columbian artifacts, which serve as a jumping-off point for experiences with Costa Rican history, ecology, natural science, and culture. (Note: read the Research sections before you attempt the mystery.)

IS THERE TREACHERY, BRAVERY, CLEVERNESS AND REDEMPTION?
Yes. (And FUN.)

THEMES:
"Poison Dart Frog" will get you acquainted with actual artifacts at the North Carolina Museum of Art. It focuses more on cultural learning than science, but you'll still need to flex your logic and problem-solving muscles and literacy skills to solve this one! (Flash plug-in required.)
