Final - Lesson Structure


The goal is to allow students to learn about bees using the classroom computers, google docs, and the Smartboard.

This lesson is designed to take a total of 2 hours. About 30 minutes for the lesson, 1 hour for groups to rotate through four stations (15 minutes at each station) and about 30 minutes for group sharing and closure.

1. The teacher conducts a PowerPoint lesson and shows a short 2 minute bee video using the Smartboard.

2. Students get into small groups of 5-6 students and rotate through 4 stations using their desks, the t.v./vcr, the classroom computers/google docs and the Smartboard to learn more about bees.

3. Students share what they learned using the Smartboard and receive feedback from the teacher and other groups.

4. Students are informally assessed when sharing with their group and formally assessed by independently taking a bee quiz the next day that asks them to draw and label the 3 parts of a bee and the 4 life cycle stages.
