Building Checklist
Step-by-step checklist for students to ensure their bee hotel is planned, built, and tested correctly. Includes reflection questions and a partner feedback section where students can evaluate their work and suggest improvements. This checklist promotes self-assessment and accountability, guiding students through each stage of the project while reinforcing problem-solving skills. Two versions are included for differentiation.
