Young scholars build a pollination garden. For this pollination lesson, students read directions and build a pollinator garden that will produce flowering plants for pollinator organisms to use in pollination of other plants.

Learners design an experiment. In this bees lesson plan, students research pollination and work collaboratively to discover how bees aid in pollination.  Learners use tomato plants and create experimental designs. Lesson...

Third graders discuss pollination and how bees pollinate flowers. In this pollination lesson plan, 3rd graders draw the pollination process on a piece of paper.

Students explore the pollination cycle. In this pollination lesson, students investigate the process of pollination. Students illustrate the pollination cycle of bees on paper plates.

Third graders study the terms pollen and pollination. They use appropriate vocabulary in describing their investigations, explorations, and observations (e.g., stem, pistil, stamen, flower). They describe, using their observations,...

Students investigate the anatomy of honeybees. In this anatomy lesson, students research the physical characteristics of bees and discover what they do. Students create a model of a honeybee showing the correct anatomy.

Students recognize that bees are important in the reproduction of plants and to the survival of animals.  In this bee activity, students become familiar with the parts of bees and how those adaptations help them pollinate plants....

Learners study plant and animal interdependence by studying bees and pollination. In this interdependence lesson, students discuss flower parts and dissect it to show its reproductive parts. Learners then use tissue and pipe cleaners to...

Students identify the plant parts and bee structures that are involved in pollination. They simulate pollination in a group activity and process the information.

Students explore the matriarchal structure of a bee colony. They participate in various activities to identify the structure of a bee colony and the roles of each type of bee plays in the colony. Vocabulary and a worksheet with answer...

Fourth graders research and apply knowledge about plant pollination and fertilization in this lesson. They color on a flower diagram the anther, the pistil, the pollen, the pollen tube, the ovary, and the egg to show the process of...

Students research and complete two assignments about honeybees. Students draw and color a picture of a flower with a honeybee inside of it. Students write a letter to the executives at Ridit Pest Control persuading them to stop the...

Young entomologists construct three types of insect traps—pitfall, pollinator, and panel—before setting their traps out and observing what they caught. They then observe what types of insects the different traps attract.

Students fill out worksheets about insects and how they are helpful to our world. In this insects lesson plan, students learn about flower parts and insects that pollinate them.

Third graders research insects using the internet sites provided. They research the role of insects as pollinators for plants, and the impact they have on our ecosystem. They participate in various activities/centers utilizing the facts...

Students build their school community into a better place. For this service learning lesson, students consider how to "cross-pollinate" the work of student organizations so that the school community experiences positive impacts.

Students explore ways that plants and insects impact each other, identify how different types of mouthparts allow insects to use plants in different ways, and design an insect and a plant to demonstrate mutualism.

Students visit a pumpkin farm and discuss the characteristics of a pumpkin and how they grow. They create a class story about the trip to the farm with each student supplying a sequence for the story.

Scholars create a drawing of their own backyards. They will use a visualization technique to sketch their own backyard onto construction paper using oil pastels. Guiding questions are given along with materials for the project....

Students create a collection of pressed plants. For this plant lesson, students use newspaper, plywood, and a rubberband to press plants they previously collected.

Third graders cut open a pumpkin. In this math lesson, 3rd graders complete the worksheet "From Seed to Pumpkin" and then clean out their pumpkins to see how many seeds are in it.

Students study characteristics of insects by creating models from an assortment of materials. They create rubrics showing what an insect must have and create an insect, using a bag of materials. They cut out the puzzle insects included...

Students create instruments to capture different types of insects. In this The Greatest Show on Earth: The World's Smallest Animals lesson, students compare the attributes of certain insects and record the data on a chart. After catching...

Young scholars work together to observe plants and flowers through their life cycle. In groups, they make predictions and record changes in a journal. Using this information, they create their own original artwork and discuss the plants...
