WALT
We are learning to write an information report.
Success Criteria:
We will plan and then write an information report on a topic of our choice related to bees.
Our report will:
- Be interesting!
- Give information about a topic of our choice related to bees.
- Show a clear link to our planning.
- Start with an opening statement about our topic.
- Have at least 3 paragraphs. Each paragraph will have an opening statement and a series of facts related to that statement.
- Include some complex or compound sentence structures.
- Include at least one diagram, photograph, illustration or map to go with the text.
- Finish with a general statement about the topic.
- Use information from at least 3 different sources. This information will be written in our own words and we will write down our sources at the end of our report.
Do you know the difference between a bee and a wasp? Well I do.
There are different sizes between bees, wasps and honey bees… A bee is less than 2mm. It’s probably one of the smallest flying insects and What about the wasp? The wasp is 1.2mm or 0.8mm less than a bee. But the wasp deserves that size so it can get around quicker for example, if a spider is trying to trap it. Why is the bee fat? Bees are fat because they collect nectar and they gain weight off the nectar. The wasp is skinny because it does not collect nectar.
Why do they have different patterns or colours?
Bees have a different shade of black and yellow because of the hair. Bees have hair so they can complete their task of collecting nectar and spreading pollen. Hair of a bee is important because when they collect pollen from one flower it carries is to another. Most people say wasps do not pollinate they do! A pattern on a wasp is different than a bee because they don’t have hair… OBVIOUSLY! BUt the pattern on the wasps head is yellow black but in semicircles. Their wing patterns are different because a bee has to travel more than a wasp so they can collect nectar.
WHat do they eat or sting?
Wasps eat animals, flies and bees but first they need to paralyze them by stinging. Mostly they eat animals to get full easier instead of hunting for bees or flies all the time. The animals that wasps eat are bats and birds. You might think bees eat pollen they do not. They carry the pollen to hive and feed the larvae. Also bees are vegetarian. BELIEVE IT OR NOT! WASPS DO EAT ANIMALS! Sources
