No Pollinators Invited! Lesson 1
Summary:
This lesson is geared towards 3rd graders but can be modified for upper and lower grades. Throughout the next 4 lessons they will describe the role of pollinators and explain their effects, identify how the life cycle of a plant and a pollinator are connected and explore the long-term effects of human activities on pollinators.
Students create a lunch to share at a birthday party. They will write the menu on their party invitation so everyone knows what is available to eat at the party. Students will design a lunch for a birthday party then decide what foods require a pollinator to narrow down the list of available foods.
