What's on the Bee's Knees?
by Lyndi Ramos
In this engaging and interactive lesson, we'll immerse 1st-grade students in the fascinating world of bees and flower pollination. Using a hands-on simulation activity with colored powder, students will step into the role of 'pollinator bees' and learn how these remarkable insects contribute to plant reproduction. This lesson integrates science, fine motor skills, and creative expression as students explore the essential role of bees in our ecosystem. We'll also offer an extension activity where students can create their own bee-friendly gardens, enhancing their understanding of the vital relationship between bees and flowers while fostering an appreciation for nature. Join us as we delve into a buzzing and colorful learning experience!
