In this lesson, suggested for grades K-2, students learn about bee anatomy and behavior. They develop and test bee models to demonstrate their understanding of the interrelationships between plants and pollinators. After examining some of the controversies around bee decline, they also build a class mason bee hotel and develop educational bee posters to become advocates for the bees. This lesson promises to keep your students very buzzy!. Before beginning the lesson, we recommend reading Units I and IV, which are included in this book selection.

This chapter provides recommendations for translating standards into instructional materials that are usable for those with the real task of teaching. The discussion provides an affirmative answer to the question: How can the BSCS 5E Instructional Model be used to implement the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)? The chapter draws on insights the author gained during his work on both the National Science Education Standards (NRC 1996) and the NGSS (NGSS Lead States 2013).
