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 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 lesson, students illustrate and label the parts of a flower.  Students compare different types of flowers.

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,...

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.

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 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...

Learners create a butterfly garden. For this butterfly garden lesson, students plot a garden with plant species that will attract butterflies. Learners learn about the specific plants and items that will help butterflies use the garden.

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

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.

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 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 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....

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...

First graders understand that pumpkins grow slowly over several months. In this pumpkin instructional activity, 1st graders listen to the book Pumpkin, Pumpkin and recall the sequence of the pumpkin life cycle. Students create pumpkin...

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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...
