Students
began this magnet distinguishing between insects and non-insects. This
allowed students to explore the characteristics that insects contain. |

Students
have learned the jobs of the worker bee and created a book to show
what those jobs are and how long the worker bee performs each job.

Students
studied the ways that bees communicate. Students saw some of the bee dances
and then were able to experience the dances together as if they
were bees trying to communicate to each other. |

The
honey bees perform a round (circular) dance to tell that food is near the
hive. They also do a dance called the wag-tail dance to show which direction
the food is in and how far depending on how fast the complete the dance.
Students really enjoyed this activity and got in to becoming a bee. |
Last
week students were able to taste test two different types of honey.
By looking at the results you can tell very clearly which was the
favorite. I encouraged students to try other types of honey at
home if they had other types to try. |
