Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
The Nebraska College and Career Ready Standards for Science (2024) outcome SC.2.7.2.b (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: Nebraska College and Career Ready Standards for Science (2024).
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.
