Unbee-lievable Facts about Bumblebees
- The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to drone.
- Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).
- Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.

- The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand because of people like us removing wildflowers from their habitat and the use of pesticides in the garden.
Activity 2 Week Three Day Two
Learning Intention:On your blog, list all of the foods that you don't like to put in your special draining sink.
Some food that I don't like that I would put into my special draining sink are broccoli, collie, macaroni, eggs, pumpkin, corn and peas.
Activity 3 Week Three Day Two
Learning Intention:Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?
On your blog, tell us how you would solve this tricky maths problem. Be sure to also post your final answer in days or weeks.
To figure out this mathematics problem it really isn't that tricky. Since it takes 5 days for 1 mould to get removed you then keep going up in the five times tables like shown below.
Once you come to what the question was how much days or week would it take to remove all seven moulds. You can either do what I had done below or just do 7 moulds times 5 days which equals 35 days or 5 weeks.
5-1
10-2
15-3
20-4
25-5
30-6
35-7 This is the answer it will take 35 days (5 weeks) to remove seven moulds.
Kia Ora Jack!
ReplyDeleteWell done for completing this task! Bumblebees are very important to our ecosystems. Have you noticed how small the wings of the bumblebees are? Sometimes I wonder how they are even able to fly! They have such large bodies and such tiny wings!
All animals have special adaptations that help them survive! Do you have any favourite animals?
By the way! Bumble means humming and buzzing! It’s that funny?
It was interesting to read your list of food. A carbon sink would be super useful! I would too put peas in there!
But I love broccoli, macaroni, eggs, pumpkin and corn.
I love most veggies! My favourite is potatoes and carrots! What’s your favourite veggie?
Well done, You have accurately completed this task! Jack you are very bright! Pat yourself on the back! It’s awesome to see you know your 5 times tables!
Keep up the great work!
He Whetu Koe! (You’re a star!)
