  9. Why Tadpoles Change Frogs are amphibians. Amphibians spend part of their lives under water. Young frogs start their life in water as tadpoles. First, the female frog lays lots of eggs so some will survivefrom being eaten by fish and other animals. The eggs are smakk and often laid inside white foam. Next, the eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles have gillsso they can breath under water and a strong tail to help them swim. As the tadpoles grow bigger, they start to change because they need to become a frog. Their tail becomes smaller and they begin growing legs. The back legs grow firs followed by the front legs. Tadpoles also start to develop lungsbecause they have to be ready to breathe on land when they become a frog. Tadpoles may be found in billabongs, lakes, swamps or even in puddles after heavy rain. Scientific words Action verbs Sequencing words and cause and effect

  10. Lead In Wax Cap Inside the Honey Stomach Nectar Water Nectar in cell

  11. Presentation Stage 1. From where do the bees drink nectar? The bees drink nectar from the flower 2. How do they drink it? The bees drink nectar by using its long tongue Long Tongue

  12. Presentation Stage 3. Inside the honey stomach, what does the enzyme change nectar into? glucose The enzyme change nectar into fructose and glucose fructose 2. After the bee return to their hive, what do they spit from their honey stomach? They spit nectar from their honey stomach Spit nectar

  13. Presentation Stage 5. What happen to the nectar after the heat evaporate the water? Water It changes into honey Nectar in cell 6. How do the bees cover the cell? Wax Cap They cover the cell with a wax cap

  14. Rewrite all answers and arrange them into a paragraph by putting some connectors! First, bees drink nectar from flowers using their long tongue. Their tongue helps them to reach the nectar inside the flower. Then, bees store the nectar in a special sac called a honey stomach. Inside the stomach, special enzyme changes nectar into two sugars called fructose and glucose. After the bees return to their hive, they spit the nectar from its honey stomach into one of the cells. Next, the heat in the hive evaporate water from the nectar and it turns into honey. Finally, the bees cover the cell with a wax cap.

  15. Write general statement and concluding paragraph to compose explanation text! Bees are the only insects which produce food for humans. The food the honey bee produces is unique, good tasting, beneficial and nutricious. So, how does a bee make honey? First, bees drink nectar from flowers using their long tongue. Their tongue helps them to reach the nectar inside the flower. Then, bees store the nectar in a special sac called a honey stomach. Inside the stomach, special enzyme changes nectar into two sugars called fructose and glucose. After the bees return to their hive, they spit the nectar from its honey stomach into one of the cells. Next, the heat in the hive evaporate water from the nectar and it turns into honey. Finally, the bees cover the cell with a wax cap. Thousands of worker bees can produce over 200 pounds of honey for the colony in a year. Imagine if there are no bees on this earth!
