  1. Bugscope & Bumblebees

  2. Bumblebees- Habitat • Bumble bees are usually found in high altitudes and latitudes. Unlike other bees, bumble bees can be found in very cold climates because they are able to regulate their body temperature, via solar radiation, internal mechanisms of “shivering” and radioactive cooling from the abdomen. Bumble bees live in colonies. Next usually hold at the most fifty full size bumblebees. Bumblebees do not maintain their nests through the winter. Nests are constructed in the spring by the queen bees, she does so after hibernation during the winter. The characteristics of bumblebee nests are different between bee species.

  3. Bumblebees-Reproduction • Queen bees mate with males and then diapause during winter in a sheltered area. In early spring the female comes out of diapause and searches for a good place to lay her eggs. The queen bee will prepare wax cells where the bees lay their eggs.

  4. Bumblebee- Reproduction • The eggs will then hatch into larvae. Larvae are fed nectar and pollen to develop. The larvae goes through four instars stages. With each one the larvae gets bigger and bigger. Next the larvae spin a cocoon. They go threw cellular growth and become pupae. Next they grow into adult bees who chew their way out of the silk cocoon. They are not fully developed at this point it will take at least 24 hours before they leave the cocoon. This whole process can take up to five weeks.

  5. Bumblebees-Worker bees/stinging • The new bees become the worker bees and take over foraging, this means the queen bee can spend time to lay and take care of her eggs. Worker bees lay haploid eggs that develop into viable male bumblebees, Fertilized queen bees lay diploid eggs that become worker and future queen bees. Bumblebees can sting, their stingers are not barbed which means they can sting more than one time. Bumble bees are not aggressive but will sting if they feel threatened.

  6. Bugscope Picture Bumble face and eye.

  7. Comparison of Images • In my image the bumblebee lacks detail compared the images from bugscope as well as the digital image. • The digital image and the picture I drew are similar in the fact that the both show the bumblebee having black and yellow stripes as well as six legs. • The images from bugscope showed me traits that I had never seen before or even knew existed. • I had no idea that insects had hair all over their bodies including their eyes. The hairs are connected to nerves which allow the insects/bumblebees to feel. • In the picture from bugscope you would not be able to tell that they were pictures of bumblebees unless they were labeled that way.

  8. National Science Education Standards THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ORGANISMS • Each plant or animal has different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. For example, humans have distinct body structures for walking, holding, seeing, and talking. How Bugscope Applies: • Bugscope addresses this standard in that it gives students a very close look at insect’s structures. Students will be able to clearly see the traits that make certain insects unique and special. • As a teacher I can navigate the bugscope sight and zoom in on certain features I want my students to get a closer look at. • Students can also generate questions to ask the people who run bugscope.

  9. Authenticity of technology and Bugscope • It is important for students to be exposed to different types of technology during this lesson it may be affective to have students compare what they see when using, the magnifying glass, the light microscope and the ESEM. Students can describe appropriate uses for the three as well as use them correctly.

  10. Three Literature Sources: 1)The textbook for the class. 2) Any trade book having to do with insects 3) National Geographic for kids.

  11. Two ways to apply bugscope outside of Science 1)Can be used as something to write about in class. Students can keep a journal and later publish some sort of book that the whole class can contribute making. 2)Bugscope can be used in a Geography class. While studying different continents the class may talk about different animals or insects that our native to that content. Through Bugscope you can look at different traits that give that bug the ability to live in certain environments.
