Project Title: No Bees, No Food
Mission:
How can we save bee populations to protect our food?
Culminating / Take Action Project
Students choose from three informative projects: podcast, news story, or graphic design.
What Kids Learn
Some bee populations are struggling, putting the plants we depend on for food at risk. In No Bees, No Food, students act as scientists to investigate why bee populations are struggling and why that matters for the food people eat. Across four modules, students uncover what bees need to survive, the science of how flowering plants make and move the food bees depend on, and how a decline in bees could ripple through an entire ecosystem.Â
