Ellie's Buzzing Project

Ellie's Buzzing Project

For her Buzzing Project, Ellie decided to take a look at the science behind honey and she has discovered so many interesting facts! Did you know about all the health benefits we can get from honey? In these challenging times it is good to know how nature can help us to stay healthy.  Learn more about it on Ellie's science page.

For her Buzzing Drawing Challenge, Ellie has chosen to look at the vital minerals we can get from honey as well as the chemical formulas of enzymes and vitamins. As part of our research in our art classes we looked at geometry in nature and discovered the many times we can find hexagons in nature. Bees make hexagonal honey combs to store their honey. Their compound eyes are made up of hexagonal cylinders. Hexagons can also be found in the North of Ireland at the Giant's Causeway. Ellie even discovered that many molecular bonds are hexagonal. Isn't that amazing?

Well done Ellie!
