Plants And Pollination

More than 200,000 invertebrate species and around 2,000 vertebrate species act as pollinators. The sixth lesson in a series of 10 encourages scholars to first identify both male and female flowering plants. Next, they bag and tag five...

Honeybees perform more pollination than any other insect, but pollination can occur by the wind, self-pollination, or cross-pollination. The fourth lesson in a 10-part series encourages scholars to investigate the adaptation of various...

Take a deep dive into Oregon's ecosystems, plants, and changes from the past to the future. Many hands-on activities in an environmental science unit delight scholars, including creating a field guide for a local park. The in-depth study...

Detailing the structures and functions of flowering plants, this slide show will help your students understand the processes and the conditions that allow pollination and fertilization. Labelled diagrams help introduce the reproductive...

Save yourself time by using this concise arrangement of slides about pollination and fertilization in plants. Minimal wording is included, but the graphics are educational. You will also find charts for the adaptations of both...

Different means of plant cross-pollination are discussed in this video. The narrator explains the footage and a computerized cross-section of flowers. The film is educational, but it is not engaging. Consider following it up with a...

Would you rather having biting flies or chocolate? The question may seem absurd, but cocoa trees rely on pollination from biting flies. Viewers come to understand the importance of pollinators to our food supply, flowers, and entire...

Students identify the different ways things are pollinated and how to manage pollen.  In this pollination lesson plan students complete an experiment on how moths pollinate flowers.

"With the declining numbers of bees, the cost of over 130 fruit and vegetable crops that we rely on for food is going up in price." While scientist Noah Wilson-Rich uses the plight of honey bees as the main focus of his presentation,...

Students explore biological evolution and natural selection and its evolutionary consequences. They also explore how organisms are interdependent on one another.
