Webinar: How to Build a Student Bee Club

Rating
0.0 stars

In this webinar, we discuss how to build and grow a Bee Club for your school or organization. Special guest, Beth McCarty, is an educator and Bee Grant recipient who grew her school's Bee Club from the science lab observation hive to a campus-wide effort run through their Bee Club to learn alongside the bees.McCarty's school, Ashley Hall, is located in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina, so her experience is not only in urban beekeeping, but also deals with developing bee clubs over several grade levels. She shows us how to get creative, adapt to different learning levels, and how taking kids into a hive isn't the most important item on the Bee Club to-do list!Find educator lesson plans, resources, and more information about the Bee Cause Project grant opportunities at www.thebeecause.org!This webinar was offered in partnership with our friends at the Whole Kids Foundation.

What's Air Got to Do with It?
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students are introduced to the concepts of air pollution and air quality. The three lesson parts focus on the prerequisites for understanding air pollution. First, students use M&Ms to create a pie graph that expresses their understanding of the composition of air. Next, students watch and conduct several simple experiments to develop an understanding of the properties of air (it has mass, it takes up space, it can move, it exerts pressure, it can do work). Finally, students develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper. In an associated literacy activity, students explore the environmental history timeline.

You are what you eat: Tracking the fate of food in the red mason bee
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Life, in all its forms, is a constant balance of energy and matter. A look at any food web reveals how organisms are tightly connected to each other and their environment. On the smallest and most fundamental scale, the process is cyclical. Atoms representing vital minerals flow in a never-ending circuit from one sink to the next. Understanding this flow helps scientists answer questions about how organisms transform food into energy and body mass for growth and survival. But while these strategies tend to vary with species, life stage, and sex, studies often treat members of a population as being, for all intents and purposes, the same. Researchers from Jagiellonian University in Poland are taking a different approach. By tracking the assimilation, excretion, and allocation of the individual minerals found in pollen, they’re beginning to understand how the diet of the red mason bee contributes to its growth and survival and how the nutritional budget differs with life stage and sex..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
