I like how you describe Allie and Tyler as industrious. One must, of course, remember that this is a made for video production. The reality, I fear, is that less than 1% of children would actually undertake such research, much less be concerned about its accuracy and validity. However, as a modeling tool it may be productive in compelling students to undertake research were they to find themselves in a similar situation. The video might indeed be considered a case of what Stager would term "providing demonstrable expertise." (Stager, 2006) More compelling still, though, might be to bring students out into nature and let them formulate inquiries which could then be brought back to the library for actual research.
