- Description
Why do honeybees carry pollen? How do they make honey? And what does a honeycomb look like up close? Invite preschoolers to investigate questions like these through colorful visuals, games, and hands-on STEM challenges that make a spring science unit buzz with discovery!
This collection gives teachers several ways to explore honeybee science. Introduce a honeybee fact with a poster, follow it with a game or investigation, then let children record what they noticed in their own booklet. Choose activities for your science center, small group lessons, or a longer honeybee study!
