Description
- Overview:
- This lesson from the National Agriculture in the Classroom Matrix is designed to teach students about the parts of honey bees, the stages of the lifecycle, and the role honey bees play in pollination. There are three activities including materials lists, vocabulary words, background connections, support documents, step-by-step procedures, and support videos.

Standards
Learning Domain: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures & Processes
Standard: Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Degree of Alignment: Not Rated (0 users)
Learning Domain: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Standard: Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.
Degree of Alignment: Not Rated (0 users)
Learning Domain: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
Standard: Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.

Learning Domain: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
Standard: Use evidence to support the explanation that observable traits can be influenced by the environment.
Degree of Alignment: Not Rated (0 users)
Learning Domain: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
Standard: Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.

Learning Domain: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
Standard: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
Degree of Alignment: Not Rated (0 users)
Learning Domain: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures & Processes
Standard: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

Learning Domain: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures & Processes
Standard: Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
Degree of Alignment: Not Rated (0 users)
Learning Domain: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Standard: Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits
Standard: Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death. [Clarification Statement: Changes organisms go through during their life form a pattern.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment of plant life cycles is limited to those of flowering plants. Assessment does not include details of human reproduction.]

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Environmental Impacts on Organisms
Standard: Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits
Standard: Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms. [Clarification Statement: Patterns are the similarities and differences in traits shared between offspring and their parents, or among siblings. Emphasis is on organisms other than humans.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include genetic mechanisms of inheritance and prediction of traits. Assessment is limited to non-human examples.]

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits
Standard: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment. [Clarification Statement: Examples of the environment affecting a trait could include normally tall plants grown with insufficient water are stunted; and, a pet dog that is given too much food and little exercise may become overweight.]

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits
Standard: Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing. [Clarification Statement: Examples of cause and effect relationships could be plants that have larger thorns than other plants may be less likely to be eaten by predators; and, animals that have better camouflage coloration than other animals may be more likely to survive and therefore more likely to leave offspring.]

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Environmental Impacts on Organisms
Standard: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. [Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved. The organisms and their habitat make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.]

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Structure, Function, and Information Processing
Standard: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. [Clarification Statement: Examples of structures could include thorns, stems, roots, colored petals, heart, stomach, lung, brain, and skin.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to macroscopic structures within plant and animal systems.]

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Structure, Function, and Information Processing
Standard: Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on systems of information transfer.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the mechanisms by which the brain stores and recalls information or the mechanisms of how sensory receptors function.]

Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems
Standard: Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. [Clarifcation Statement: Emphasis is on the idea that matter that is not food (air, water, decomposed materials in soil) is changed by plants into matter that is food. Examples of systems could include organisms, ecosystems, and the Earth.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include molecular explanations.]
