Students research information on worker bees. In this insect instructional activity, students review the body parts of insects and how bees find flowers. They discuss compound and simple eyes and the life cycle of a worker bee.

Students investigate honeybees and the importance of honeybees to humans. They identify the various parts of a bee's body using velcro parts, role-play a hive, and answer review questions.

Students recognize that bees are important in the reproduction of plants and to the survival of animals.  For this bee lesson, students become familiar with the parts of bees and how those adaptations help them pollinate plants....

Young scholars study honey bees by researching handouts and books. In this honey bee lesson plan, students make a comb out of polygons, learn about the 4 stages of insect development, and view how the hive hierarchy works.

Students review the basic parts of an insect and explore the anatomical characteristics of a honey bee. The second part of the lesson focuses on ways to identify a honey bee from other stinging insects.

Students are introduced to the members and workings of a honey bee colony. They describe the structure of a comb, the day-to-day activities of honey bees, and name the four stages of bee development. They construct a honeycomb model.

Students use dances to learn about honeybees and how they communicate. In this honeybee lesson, students discuss how bees communicate. Students study diagrams of dances and practice them. Students locate special treats in bags to study...

Students research bees. For this organisms lesson, students participate in various learning centers to find out more about bees. The centers include watching a video and taking notes, reading books about bees, and going on a WebQuest. As...

Students explore how bees make honey and why the hexagon is the best basic pattern for the honeycomb through the use of a video and hands-on activities with honeycombs and geometric shapes.

There might not be a butcher or baker, but you'll have a class full of candlestick makers after a hands-on lesson about candles make from beeswax. After a brief history of where beeswax comes from, young artisans craft their own...

Students review three types of polygons that are triangles, squares, and hexagons. They use a computer program to draw various types of tessellations. The students use the drawing of a honeybee as inspiration.

Students see that insects do lots good and are very valuable to humans and nature. This is part of an ongoing effort to dispel fears of insects. They rotate through a series of centers that have examples of how insects contribute to our...

Students examine the relationship between two and three dimensional shapes. They use their drawings to solve problems. They create a notebook of the formulas and how they relate to the real world.

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....
