Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify and draw points, lines, line segments, rays, intersecting lines, perpendicular lines, and parallel lines in a labeled bee-habitat plan to show how geometric features organize functional outdoor spaces.
Students will be able to classify and draw parallelograms, rhombi, rectangles, squares, and trapezoids as habitat zones, paths, shelters, and observation areas based on the defining attributes of quadrilaterals.
Students will be able to draw and explain lines of symmetry in two-dimensional habitat features to create balanced and clearly organized designs.
Students will be able to investigate bee needs, pollinator-supporting habitat features, and safe observation boundaries to define the needs of bees and student observers.
Students will be able to prototype, test, and refine a shape-based bee habitat using checklist results and feedback from peers, a beekeeper, and community garden partners to show that evidence improves design solutions.
Students will be able to collaborate and present a logically sequenced defense of their habitat choices using clear speech, appropriate volume, nonverbal cues, and respectful responses to questions to communicate a shared solution to authentic clients.
Students will be able to plan, draft, and revise a digital build-ready habitat proposal with geometric labels, bee-support features, safety boundaries, and revision notes to communicate how design choices serve bees and student observers.

Individual Shape-Based Bee Habitat Design Portfolio
Each student creates a digitally drafted and revised habitat plan, annotated cut-paper prototype, feedback record, and brief oral defense showing mastery of geometry, bee-support features, safe observation boundaries, and user-centered design decisions. The portfolio also documents how the student contributed ideas, listened to feedback, and improved the design.
Build-Ready Bee Habitat Model and Stakeholder Gallery Presentation
Teams combine evaluated individual ideas into a labeled model and digital build-ready proposal, test it with a bee-support and safety checklist, revise it from stakeholder feedback, and present a logically sequenced oral defense during a gallery walk. The presentation explains geometric features, habitat and safety choices, team decisions, test findings, revisions, and remaining limitations.
