2-LS2-2: Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
Learning Targets
- Build a model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
- Discover how flowers depend on pollinators to make seeds.
Pollen Painting Activities
- Watch a video and learn about pollen and how pollinators are used to make seeds.
- Complete a vocabulary worksheet.
- Craft a model bee that will be used like a paint brush to spread color from Kool-Aid powder onto a provided painting handout. The Kool-Aid powder will act like pollen so the students can see how bees and other pollinators transfer pollen from different flowers to make seeds.
