This tour offers students a fun way to understand the interactions between bees and flowering plants. Various games and observation activities allow students to learn about the anatomy of bees and how they collect pollen and nectar from flowers. This tour also includes a visit to the bee house, the observation deck and the screening of the film “Jour de miel”, a Vaisseau co-production.

Have your students observe the anatomy of a flower and the different stages of development from flower to fruit.
The bee race: recognize the bees among several images of insects, observe them and then complete the drawing of a bee with the missing parts.

To get students involved and help the bees, you can plant honey flowers (which attract bees).

This course proposes to the students to exercise their logical mind through fifteen puzzles based on shapes and geometry. Then, they also discover some basics of how a robot works and how to program it.
Cycle 3
The students discover the “I make” universe of the Vaisseau. This is an opportunity to manipulate machines from the simplest (lever, hoist) to the most complex (robot). In half class, the students freely explore the interactive elements or participate in the activity “A treasure without effort” animated by a mediator who allows them to experiment some notions of mechanics (force, weight…).
This course proposes two investigations on biodiversity, one in the jungle and the other in a garden. Moving from one step to the next, the students will observe their environment, take into account the information given and formulate hypotheses to solve the two enigmas that are proposed to them.
