home learning; Garden Ecosystem BEE Project

Whilst students and parents are at home during the Spring and Easter time they can work through this bee project booklet offline, simply print it out and complete. It has been designed for distance/ remote learning.

Understanding the concept of an ecosystem being made up of both living and living things is important at Ks2 to prepare students for science and Geography at KS3 and high school. This geography based project is suitable for ages 7-10.

The global and national population of bees is falling, and this is unsustainable as they play an important part on pollination and growing crops that sustain humans. There is a movement now to protect and care for bees as an important part of nature and ecology.

By the end of the project , students will know;

• the living and non-living parts in a garden ecosystem
• The jobs that honey bees do
• How to classify 3 types of bees based on their appearance
• define some keywords linked to bees
• The types of plants that attract bees
• How to encourage bees into your garden
• How to build a wild-bee house
• Label the different parts/ anatomy of a bee

There is a printable completion certificate and bee-themes greeting card also.
