Thanks to funding by the Schoharie Elementary PTSO, second graders were buzzing with knowledge about the science and engineering of bees, honey and hives after a May visit by the SUNY Polytechnic’s Children’s Museum Of Science & Technology (CMOST).
The students learned about honey bees and their bodies, roles in the hive and hive construction. They took part in craft stations, viewed archives of bee-related information and enjoyed a team-based, hands-on hive-building activity. Based in Troy, SUNY Poly CMOST is part of the Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (SUNY Poly).
