Year 4 Find Their Own Waggle

Year 4 Scientists took to the woods to learn about how different species communicate without using verbal/ sound communication. Bees use the Waggle dance to communicate distance and direction of nectar from the colony- up to 6km from the hive and ants use pheromones to accurately leave a trail for the rest of the colony to find – strength in numbers. Children then came up with their own forms of communication in teams to find and compete for their own ‘nectar’.
