Honey Bees are Essential: Contextualization |
Art
|
For the art portion of my project I designed and 3d printed a honey bee on honey comb. I then made a silicon mold of the 3d printed bee. After that, I casted wax candles into the mold. . When the results were satisfactory I made a final casting with bees wax. Contextualization was shown through illustrating some of the things that beeswax can be used for. Then I talked about some of the things that we would be without if all the bees were dead.

English
For the English portion of my project I created an informational pamphlet. The purpose of this was to educate readers on what role they can serve to help save honey bees. Additionally, I want the reader to understand how pressing this issue is to our ecosystem. I contextualized my thinking by explaining what life is like with bees and without bees.

Social Studies
For the social studies portion I researched the history and development of pesticides. I also did some research on Herman Mueller a scientist and educator. He won the Noble Prize due to his work with pesticides in 1948. Contextualization was shown by informing readers about what life was like before pesticides and what life is like now with pesticides.
