Animals and Creatures that help us (Focus: The Honeybee)
NATURAL SCIENCE
PRODUCTS
Bees produce honey and beeswax, which are useful to humans (DBE, 2011: 58).
ACTIVITY: Compare and classify samples of liquid honey, solid honey, and beeswax
LIFE PROCESSES
Bees are insects essential for pollination, which is how plants reproduce to give us food (Naudé & Meier, 2016: 104).
ACTIVITY:Pollen Transfer Model: Learners use cotton swabs and flour to simulate the process, developing process skills (Naudé & Meier, 2016: 111).
Technology
TOOLS AND ARTEFACTS
Humans design artefacts to make the job of farming safer and easier (Naudé & Meier, 2016: 115)
ACTIVITY: Draw a design sketch of a safer bee feeder that protects the bee's food from rain, applying the Technology Design Process.
PROBLEM SOLVING
Technology is used to solve real life problems, maybe how to protect the beekeeper from stings.
ACTIVITY: Evaluate different materials (e.g., thin cloth vs. thick canvas) and decide which is best for the protective bee suit.
SOCIAL SCIENCE
HISTORY AND TIME
The way people collect honey has changed over time (chronology) (DBE, 2011: 64).
ACTIVITY: Learners create sequencing cards to show how honey gathering has changed from the past to the present.
PEOPLE AND WORK
Beekeepers have a specialised job that benefits the community and the economy (Naudé & Meier, 2016: 121).
ACTIVITY: Conduct a mock Oral Interview with a 'beekeeper' to use history skills (Naudé & Meier, 2016: 130) and learn about their tools and daily routine.
