Stem pollination activity

We have talked about pollination before, during our Flower Unit, but it was good to review it from the bee's point of view. :) I'm sorry to say I have never before noticed the pollen baskets (good picture here) on the legs of bees I've seen flying around, but from now on I will always look for them! This activity (best for younger kids, really) demonstrates how a bee gathers pollen on her "fur" while sipping nectar from flowers. It's easy to set up: put some small item in the bottom of a…

Buzz through spring with the Bee Pollination STEAM Activity! Now that more and more bees are coming out after the cold winter, it's the perfect time to teach children about how bees and flowers help each other out to accomplish each other's goals: Flowers getting pollinated and bees gathering nectar for honey. Children will enjoy flying their little bee buddies around and helping them gather pollen to deliver from flower to flower.

Dissect a flower to learn about all its parts and how pollination works -- awesome hands-on science!

Get up close with the photosynthesis process by painting with chlorophyll. This STEM chlorophyll science lesson will be memorable for all.

Try this fun pollination STEM activity for students to make a craft stick model bee then simulate pollination using mac and cheese powder!

Hi Friends! This is Julie from Mrs. Lee's Kinderkids. Thanks so much for hoppin' over to read the great things we have going on here at Blog Hoppin' this week! Today's theme is Activities Like…so my title would be: Activities Like This Make my Prep Life Easier or Activities Like This Keep my Students Engaged I began our Alphabet Journal this year and I absolutely love it…so do my kiddos! They are totally engaged in this hands-on journal. I've seen ABC journals before, but haven't really…

A hands-on science activity that really digs into pollination for children.

Pollinating Plants... With Kool-aid?!? Sometimes teaching about plants can be difficult to make it hands on without an actual plant. Sometimes as much as I wish I did I just don't have a green thumb. That doesn't stop me from finding some way to make it engaging and hands-on for the kiddos! One way that I do this is by teaching children about the life cycle of plants. When I teach about the life cycle we take a pause and discuss pollination. I pull out the cotton balls cupcake cups and…
