ACTIVITY

Who Are the Bees – Part 2

Students collaborate in groups to research various aspects of bee life and present their findings in a creative format.

The aim is for students to understand the structure and ecological importance of bees, and how they contribute to both nature and human life.

Before:

This activity is a continuation of Who Are the Bees? – Part 1, which should be completed beforehand.

1

Students get time to finish their research and prepare a short presentation. They collect their findings on a poster, including:

  • Supporting pictures or drawings

  • Short descriptions

  • A quote about bees

  • At least one suggestion for helping bees

2

Students present their posters and give each other feedback.

An interesting method to use for the presentation is the Presentation Bazaar.
An interesting method for constructive feedback is the 4-Feedback.

3

All posters are displayed in a “Bee Corner” exhibition.

Didactic tips:

  • Integrate the topic with Art (e.g., drawing bees or designing posters) or Language (e.g., writing a bee poem or short story).

  • Invite a local beekeeper to the class to share real-life experiences and answer student questions.

  • Use interest-based group formation to let students choose a research topic that excites them (e.g., hive life, bee anatomy, environmental threats).

  • Allow students to present their findings in different formats (e.g., slideshow, video, infographic) to support diverse learning styles.
