Let me use my reader's voice...
Bees don’t flap their wings up and down. They move their wings backwards and forwards, twisting them slightly on each stroke to create something we call “lift”. It’s a little bit like how humans stay afloat in a swimming pool – we move our arms backwards and forwards to stop ourselves sinking.

Teacher Model Question OnlyWhat does a bee create by moving their wings backwards and forwards?
Reveal Explainer
The words ‘create’ and ‘backwards and forwards’ are clues. I can ‘look around’ for these words and ‘find and take’ the answer, “lift” which helps the bee to fly.
