Today we learned about pollination. There were a lot of large terms the students had to digest, so I figured I would allow the students participate in a fun activity to let them embody the experience! They went to their desk and found a flower on top of a juice box and Cheetos. The juice box was a symbol for nectar and the Cheetos symbolized the pollen. When the students drank their “nectar” they also rubbed their fingers on the “pollen”. Once I rang a bell, students flew around the room to another flower and rubbed their hands on another flower. This signified the transfer of pollen from one plant to another! The students loved this activity and were able to articulate back to me what they had learned!
