Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
The Missouri Learning Standards: Science (2016) outcome 2.LS2.A.2 (Life Sciences) for Grade 2 says: “Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.” This Fieldbook unit teaches it hands-on, with everyday materials and a printable teacher guide and student sheet for every lesson. Official wording: Missouri Learning Standards: Science (2016).
Who Eats What? Food Chains and Helpers Grades K–2
What does a rabbit need, and what does a sunflower need? Children sort picture cards by what living things need, build food chains on the floor from the sun to a fox, and play bees carrying pollen between paper flowers. Everything prints: no materials to buy.
- How do bees help flowers? 45–55 min
Children play bees, carrying printed pollen dots from paper flower to paper flower, and find that pollen only helps a flower of the same kind. Then they build a fuzzy paper bee and test it, and meet the birds and squirrels that help plants spread their seeds.
