Educational worksheets teaching children about deer antlers and bee communication through dancing.

Let's solve each part of the task step by step.

Part 1: Deer Antlers are Made of Bone

Article Summary:
- Deer are the only animals with bones sticking out of their heads.
- Unlike horns (which are like fingernails), antlers are true bones.
- New antlers grow every year or two from the top of the head.
- Initially, they are soft and covered in skin.
- The skin dries up and is rubbed off by the deer.
- Once the skin is gone, the antlers harden.
- Deer use antlers for fighting.

Notes to Complete:
We are given three notes already:
1. Deer are the only animals with bone sticking out of their heads.
2. Deer grow new antlers every few years.
3. [Blank]
4. Antlers are made for fighting.

We need to fill in the missing note using one of the options A–D.

Let’s analyze the options:

- A. Deer antlers are similar to fingernails → Incorrect. The article says *horns* are like fingernails, not antlers.
- B. The antlers are soft when they first start growing → Correct! This matches the sentence: "At first, the bones are soft and covered with skin."
- C. Many animals have horns → True, but this is a general fact and not a key detail about antler growth or function.
- D. Skin stays on the deer's antlers until they fall off → Incorrect. The article says the skin dries up and is rubbed off — it doesn't stay until they fall off.

✔ So, the correct choice is B.

Completed Notes:
- Deer are the only animals with bone sticking out of their heads
- Deer grow new antlers every few years
- The antlers are soft when they first start growing
- Antlers are made for fighting

Part 2: Bees Talk by Dancing

Article Summary:
- Bees communicate by dancing.
- When a bee finds food, it returns to the hive and dances.
- The dance tells other bees where the food is.
- If the bee moves in a small circle → food is close.
- If the bee moves slowly in a figure eight → food is more than 100 yards away.
- Bees can communicate food sources up to 6 miles away.

Notes to Complete:
We are given four bullet points:
- Bees tell other bees where food is.
- Bees move in small circles when food is close.
- Bees can tell about food that is up to 6 miles away.
- Bees move in a figure eight to tell about food farther away.

We need to give a title for these notes.

Now look at the options:

- A. Bees eat nectar from flowers → Not mentioned in the notes; it's true but not the main idea.
- B. Bees dance to tell where food can be found → YES! This captures the main idea of the whole paragraph.
- C. Bees look for food that is near their hive → Too narrow; they find food up to 6 miles away.
- D. Bees live in hives in trees → Not discussed in the text.

✔ So, the best title is B.

Completed Notes Title:
Bees dance to tell where food can be found

✔ Final Answers:

#### Deer Antlers Section:
- Missing note: The antlers are soft when they first start growing
- Correct answer: B

#### Bees Section:
- Title: Bees dance to tell where food can be found
- Correct answer: B
