Reading Adventure Pack: Bees

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A Reading Adventure pack explores the busy life of bees. After reading a fiction and nonfiction text, scholars complete three hands-on activities. Participants invent a robot that can do the work of bees, cheers to hardworking bees with a homemade smoothie, and compose a piece of a newspaper designed for bees such as a comic, advertisement, or article.
