Modifications
|
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?
- How bees in their habitats compare with people in their
communities
|
Technology Integration
|
When students were asked to go to the computer with a given website to
further research on bees, students were able to type what they learned.
They cut and paste pictures of bees to their reports to create slides.
|
Assessment
|
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.
|
Tips for Teachers
|
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.
