Prerequisites
Students may benefit from understanding a little about bees and what they do to eat, as this is referenced in a previous video in the series.
Differentiation & Implementation
To connect this episode to climate change, teachers can discuss how a warming climate impacts the synchronization of flowers blooming and bees coming out in the spring.
Teachers can introduce this video by prompting students to recall their favorite fruits. Additionally, teachers can bring in a variety of fruits for students to try.
After learning about pollination, students can learn to create a pollinator garden. This resource can help students create one at school.
Older students can choose one of the pollinators listed in the video to complete a brief research project about. Teachers can find resources from the library and the internet for students to research their pollinator's habitat, diet, and life cycle.
