Four friends are dismal students at most things they try—schoolwork, and particularly in sports. When they all entered a race in the swimming carnival at the beginning of the year, the rest of the school criticised their poor performance. After the carnival, they went to their favourite spot by the river to get away from the rest of the school. It was there that they heard a dog barking on the island in the middle of the river where the water was the widest. They swam with great difficulty to the island to find out what was going on. Over the following months, they had to care for the dog and feed it. That meant swimming across the river to the island twice a day, every day, even in winter. But they were happy, and the dog loved them, and they loved the dog. At the end of the year, their school principal ordered each student to take part in five races. Reluctantly, and because they had no choice, they went in for their race, especially team events where they could work together. Because they had built up their fitness by swimming such a distance during the year, their results in the races surprised not only themselves, but their teachers and their principal. And there was a special reward for one of them!

When beekeeping became an important part of their life, the family wasn’t prepared for the surprises in store for them, sometimes embarrassing, mostly humorous, but always fun, especially for the little boy who went with his dad around the countryside taking the bees to different locations, following the honey flow, and meeting the characters from the Australian bush. Life on their own new property became a joy to them all, especially when the boy wandered off to meet other children and explore the history of the area. Like most plans, there were many upsets and disappointments, but there was a happy family who finally got what each of them dreamed of.

Our Friends the BEESBees are a major part of agriculture, with their natural honey making activity making them the most effective pollinators. Discover the world of bees in this childrens book written to spark interest in young biologists.Some of the interesting facts from the bookBees have been on earth since flowers evolved around the time of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago or more, and all that time they have been doing the fantastic job of fertilizing plants.Today scientist calculate that if we didn't have bees the human race would not be able to grow enough food to survive.Bees belong to the same family as Wasps and Ants and are six legged insects.Like ants, Bees have a Queen, Male drones, and sterile female workers. The Queen bee is 50% larger than the other females and spends her entire life laying eggs, as many as 2000 a day even though she mates only once. Honeybees represent a complex society, with various bees having very special roles during their lifetime: for instance, nurses, guards, grocers, housekeepers, construction workers, royal attendants, undertakers, foragers, etc.The queen bee can live for several years. Worker bees live for about 6 weeks during the busy summer, and for 4-9 months during the winter months.The life of a honeybee hive is continual. Although quite inactive during the winter, the honeybee survives the winter months by clustering for warmth. By self-regulating the internal temperature of the cluster, the bees maintain 93 degrees Fahrenheit in the centre of the winter (regardless of the outside temperature). Likewise in summer they cool the hive to 93 degrees.

The Edexcel Chemistry for AS Book and Student's website have been developed by two highly experienced chemistry authors to support the revised Edexcel specifications. The website (powered by Dynamic Learning), provides students with interactive pages enhanced with additional resources. Tailored precisely to the revised Edexcel specification, The Student's Book includes both quick 'Test yourself' questions throughout each of the 19 topics and end of topic Review questions. Activities involving data analysis and contemporary contexts are aslo included throughout the book to help teachers and students address the new How Science Works components. The website has a full copy of the book with icons linking it to: - Learning outcomes showing a complete list of the requirements in the specification to help students see where learning objectives and skills are covered in the book. - Data tables - Practical guidance on, for example, risk assessments, errors and uncertainty, titrations and the preparation of organic compounds - Tutorials that work through selected problems and explain the more difficult concepts using a voiceover and animated diagrams, graphs and worked calculations - Extension questions to stretch the more able, covering some ideas in greater depth - Answers to all Test yourself questions and questions in the activities in the Student's Book
