Pollination of Flowers by Moths
Turn your classroom into a pollination station as your kids transform into moths or predators trying to survive and aiding in plant reproduction along the way. Using silent party blowers as proboscises, the moths will have two minutes to...
Curated OER
Flower Dissection
Beginning biologists pull a flower apart and familiarize themselves with the different reproductive structures. Why have them learn only from just a book or diagram when they can examine real samples? There is no link to the referenced...

Fantastic Flower
Here is a clever lesson on pollination of flowers for you. In it, learners study the anatomy of a flower, and play a game in which they simulate the process of pollination. This fine plan brings in elements of art, physical education,...
Terminix
The Pollinator
What do bees and children have in common? They both love their sweets. Decorate a flower pot or bucket to look like a brightly colored flower and fill it with wrapped candy and cheese puffs. Have learners reach into grab the candy,...
Curated OER
Plant Reproduction
Fifth graders discuss the way a plant can reproduce from roots, stems, and leaves instead of the more familiar way of flowers, fruits, and seeds. In groups of four, 5th graders pick a plant group. Each group then writes a report,...

Parts of a Flower! Flower Dissection
Sometimes the best way to learn about plants is to see the different parts of a plant yourself. Groups of learners dissect flowers to answer questions about what they observe and what they wonder about their flower.
Curated OER
Flower Powder
Students collect and observe pollen. In this plant reproduction biology lesson, students use pollen boards to collect pollen from flowers, then match it with the correct paper flowers. Students move artificial bees from flower to flower...
