Students examine plants and pollinators. In this plant biology lesson, students read The Power of Pollinators and identify the parts of the plant and the pollinators. Students design their own imaginary plants.

Students examine the edible parts of a plant and explore their function. They define what makes a fruit classified as a fruit. They create a sketch or map or photo of a 1930s farm and justify their plant selections.
