Description

This class activity helps students better understand what they’ve already learned about pollination (see the PowerPoint Presentation available on Teach
This). Students play the role of pollinators, moving coloured chalk dust from flour to flour to see pollination in action. They then have a worksheet where
they explain the process in their own words.
