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.

Students investigate methods of pollination for various flowers. In this plant biology lesson, students learn the parts of a flower and form a hypothesis about the method of pollination for the flower. They determine the validity of...

Fourth graders explore the pollination process. In this plant biology instructional activity, 4th graders dissect a flower to identify the parts of a flower and watch a video to see seed dispersal. Students write about the pollination...

Students explore the concept of pollination. In this pollination lesson, students examine the parts of an apple blossom and then compare and contrast pollination and cross-pollination.

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...

Students practice graphing and other math skills to track number of honeybee colonies present in United States since 1978, discuss major crops that are dependent on insect pollinators, and examine reasons for decline of United States...

Students read and discuss a research article that explains the unlikely link between increased fish populations and increased plant pollination. They answer reading guide questions to discover this ecological relationship.

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...

Students research flower pollination. In this pollination lesson plan, students use the Internet to find information on the parts of a flower and pollination. They draw and label a flower and compete a flower power puzzle. 

Students explore the parts of a flower and pollination of flowers. In this plants instructional activity, students use an interactive whiteboard to label the parts of a plant and the functions of each part. Students complete a worksheet...

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...

Many people think of bugs as annoying pests to be squashed, but most insects and spiders are beneficial, eating the actual pests or pollinating plants. After reviewing some of the common bugs in your area (they may differ from those...

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

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.

Students explore the history of taxonomy, the work of Carl Linnaeus, and the factors involved in the decline and extinction of a variety of botanical species.

Hummingbirds and flowers need each other to survive! Pupils explore the co-adaptation of hummingbirds and the flowering plants. They explain how a flowering plant has adapted to be pollinated by a hummingbird and how the hummingbird has...

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...

Fifth graders use maps to find what crops are dominant in areas where honeybees are raised and discuss possible correlations.

Young scholars study the basic parts of flowering plants. They explore flower characteristics that attract various bird and insect pollinators. Afterward, they represent real or imaginary flowers and pollinators based on their knowledge...

What do you call a bee born in May? A maybe! This first instructional activity in a series of four begins with a starter activity to get scholars thinking about the topic. Then a circus, or circuit of seven activities,...

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...

Young scholars study plant and animal interdependence by studying bees and pollination. In this interdependence lesson, students discuss flower parts and dissect it to show its reproductive parts. Young scholars then use tissue and pipe...

Students investigate how to entice bumble bees to accept artificial domiciles. They conduct research about bee biology and nest architecture, plan and construct an artificial domicile to attract bumble bee queens, and monitor and record...
