Students discuss the pollination of bees and butterflies.  In this pollination lesson,students complete a worksheet answering questions about an imaginary bee pollination company.   Students understand the relationship...

The world would be a much different place without the help of pollinators. Read about the important role bats, hummingbirds, and various insects play in plant reproduction, exploring the interdependence of living things in an ecosystem....

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 describe sexual reproduction in plants, including the process of pollination, how insects assist in pollination, and how pollination differs from fertilization. They also explore the importance of honey bees to Arizona agriculture.

In this pollination worksheet, students read and assess comprehension. In this labeling and filling in the blanks worksheet, students answer fourteen questions.

In this word recognition activity, students trace the word "pollination," write the word independently, and color the picture of the pollination process.

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

What's the buzz these days? Learn some fun and interesting facts about honeybees with an informational reading passage, including the steps for successful pollination and honey creation.

Students conduct research on a specified plant and how it is pollinated. In this pollination activity, students discover how bees pollinate plants and make life better for humans.  After completing research, individuals compile a...

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

Introduce your class to producers, consumers, and pollinators with a reading passage. Class members read the text and respond to five related questions.

Young scholars 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...

First-time florists will be able to label the structures of simple and composite flowers after reading this handout and answering the comprehension questions. There are a couple of grammatical errors in the text, but the content is...

Here is a wonderfully designed lesson on bees and pollination designed for early elementary learners. After a class discussion on bees, pupils pretend to be a bee by picking up nectar off of "flowers" in the class. The flowers are...

Teach your class about colony collapse disorder and foster discussion about causes and solutions for the honeybee problem. Class members read and discuss an article and participate in one of two detailed activities about pollination and...

Young biologists describe the different types of bees that are native to the Sonoran Desert. They look at the nesting and feeding requirements of the insects, and study how they are able to pollinate many plants found in the environment....

Students discover the reproductive parts of a plant.  For this biology lesson, students identify and categorize several different plants they dissect in class.  Students record their information using a data chart.

Here is a very age appropriate idea that can be stretched, modified, or used as is. Learners review plant parts, discuss pollination, read the story The Tiny Seed, and write a retell sentence. Their sentences describe to way a seed...

A 190-page anthology explores the life and parts of plants, flowers, and trees while boosting reading comprehension skills. Literature and informational texts showcase Johnny Appleseed and George Washington Carver. Lessons...

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

Explore soil, genetic traits, natural resources, and pollution in a series of lessons that focus on biodiversity. Kids complete experiments to learn more about the importance of varied genes and organisms in an ecosystem.

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

Students share what they know about plants and discuss what else they would like to know. The teacher evaluates students' prior knowledge of plants to inform future instruction. Students practice observation and prediction skills.

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