PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Pollination is the key to making food and flowers grow. Honeybees and Monarch butterflies are two of the most famous pollinators around, but there are thousands of insects and birds that help keep the food chain alive. In this project, students use an acrylic paint and water mixture in pipettes to simulate flower pollination. Once all of the flowers have been sufficiently pollinated, students can spend the remaining class period building the flower their classmates helped pollinate earlier in the day, and planting a real-life flower to help attract neighborhood pollinators.
