This case study is based on a short video that explores an experiment by entomologist Shawn Steffan investigating the effect of fungicides on bee colonies. The case study is designed for students to work on individually or in small groups. As students watch the video, they are prompted to answer a number of embedded questions at selected time points. After students complete the case study, they will be able to view their answers and add to their written explanations if their thinking has changed.
The video can also be shown to the class in “Presentation Mode,” which does not contain embedded questions. The video will stop at selected time points to allow for class discussion. Access to Presentation Mode is available under the “Help” tab.
The “Educator Resources” tab provides additional background information and discussion questions.
