Students describe the complementary relationships between pollinators and the plants they pollinate, identify adaptations that flowers have developed to "encourage" pollination, and create and draw their own "designer" flowers.

Students review the parts of the plant and recognize the parts that are important for pollination.  In this pollination instructional activity, students illustrate and label the parts of a flower.  Students compare different...

Students build a pollination garden. In 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.

Students go out into the garden and observe pollinating animals through hand lenses. In this pollination lesson plan, students also discuss how animals carry seeds to create new plants elsewhere.

Students explore the environment by researching plant reproduction. In this pollination instructional activity, students define botany related vocabulary terms such as disc flower, petal and fertilization. Students dissect a flower with...

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,...

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.

Pupils use video learning to explore how flowers make seeds and dissect their own flower, and make a flower with its reproductive parts out of construction paper.

Students 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 life...

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

Students read and discuss background information included with this lesson. They brainstorm the best sources for developing a list of native or migratory pollinators. Students work in groups to design habitats based on information...

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...

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

Young scholars 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.

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 explore botany by examining diagrams. In this plant reproduction lesson, students define a list of plant vocabulary terms and identify plant anatomy from a diagram. Students complete several plant activity worksheets and study...

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

Students investigate how plants take in water, nutrients, and light. They create artwork showing how plants survive in different environments.

Students plant wild flowers and maintain their garden. In this wild flowers lesson plan, students pick and prepare a gardening site, plant wild flowers, and maintain it everyday.

Students complete a unit of lessons on insects. They participate in a bug hunt, construct paper flowers, discuss pollination, create bug paperweights and insect mobiles, play bug charades, and participate in a bug scavenger hunt.

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

Fifth graders explore plant characteristics by viewing a flower and seed presentation. In this environmental adaptation instructional activity, 5th graders identify specific traits plants have in order to allow them to grow in different...

Second graders examine various types of butterflies and insects around their school. They identify differences between beetles and butterflies. Students examine books about butterflies, complete symmetry drawings, and make ladybug key...
