By introducing the topic of bees to the students and asking them what they know about bees. Then I asked students to look among the books in the classroom and find books about bees.

Instructional Objectives

Students will know:

• The different stages of bees?

• The habitat of bees?

• How bees in their habitats compare with people in their communities
  

Students were assessed and evaluated by being able to retell stories they read about bees in their own words, write and illustrate what they learned, and demonstrate how bees help flowers to grow. The demonstration was done in a science project and displayed in the hallway.

My recommendations would be for students to roll-play the stories and conduct experiments with them. This makes the students motivated and very excited. At the end of the project, students will be able to use their senses as the teacher presents real honey. They will see, touch, smell, and taste the real honey.
