K–2 · Student activity

Order the honeybee stages and explain the new-generation arrow.

Use this activity after the teacher-selected reading. Check your ideas against that source.

Try it your way

Tell your answer to a partner, draw on the student page, or write here. Someone can read the question and record your words.

Open the drawing and writing page

Help me get started

“I notice ____. The source shows ____. I still need to check ____.”

You can point to the source while someone helps you say or write your answer.

  • Circular organizer: egg / larva / pupa / adult
  • Return arrow: adult queen lays eggs → NEW GENERATION
  • Evidence
  • Grades 3–5 comparison: honeybee / butterfly

An oral response or a drawing counts too. You do not have to fill these boxes to join the activity.

Check my thinking

What am I looking for?

I can order the stages and say that a queen lays eggs for new bees.

One possible response

Egg, larva, pupa, adult. A queen lays eggs for new bees.

This is a teacher-created example, not a quotation or the only possible answer. Compare it with the selected source and your own response.

What should I do next?

Choose a next step with your teacher or partner. This activity does not grade your answer.
