Flowers Seeking
   Pollinators
            OUR FIRST OBJECTIVE:
Objective   learn that flowers are adapted to
            attract specific pollinators.
    s
            OUR SECOND OBJECTIVE:
            practice constructing explanations grounded
            in scientific data.
            OUR THIRD OBJECTIVE:
            learn that many plants depend on animals
            for pollination and many pollinators
            depend on plants for food.

Groups
 6 groups
  What are your favorite
         flowers?
Why do plants have flowers?
Flowers have both male
   and female parts.
         All About Pollination
  Pollination is      SELF-            CROSS-
 achieved when     POLLINATION       POLLINATION
the pollen from    This can happen      or between
  the male part,     between the     separate flowers
  the stamen, is       male and        of the same
  transferred to   female parts of    species (cross-
the female part,      one flower       pollination).
    the stigma.         (self-
                     pollination)
Flowers can’t do it
   themselves!!
 Let's observe
and investigate
Can you find all of the
 parts on the Flower
      Diagram?
Why do pollinators
(birds, insects, bats)
    visit flowers?
Let's play and
    learn!!
     role-play the
  pollination process
Activity Time                    Let's Practice!
Activity procedure :one
     Each group will pick a
     name of a pollinator from
     the jar
Activity Time                      Let's Practice!
Activity procedure :one
     please take and read your
     Pollinator Observation
     Data Sheets and take time
     to read the descriptions of
     all the flowers and look at
     the data before answering
     the questions On the back.
Activity Time                       Let's Practice!
Activity procedure : Two
      please take and read your
      Constructing Explanations
      sheets and the Pollinator
      Profile cards. Each group
      should get the Pollinator
      Profile that corresponds to
      their pollinator.
Activity Time                     Let's Practice!
Activity procedure : Two
      now that you read
      Constructing Explanations
      sheets and the Pollinator
      Profile, you have more
      info to write down 3
      flower traits that are
      attractive to their
      pollinator
Activity Time                  Let's Practice!
Activity procedure : Three
      THE IMAGINARY
      FLOWER GARDEN.
      Come gather around the
      garden
Activity Time                       Let's Practice!
Activity procedure : Three
      Your job is to find one
      flower that your pollinator
      would be most attracted to,
      based on your observation
      data and the information in
      your Pollinator Profile.
Activity Time                        Let's Practice!
Activity procedure : Three
      Each group should work
      together to select one
      flower that their pollinator
      would be attracted to.
      Once you have selected
      your flower, take it back to
      your table.
Activity Time                      Let's Practice!
Activity procedure : Three
      On your Constructing
      Explanations sheet, circle
      which flower you chose
      and write one sentence
      describing why that flower
      would attract your
      pollinator.
present your flowers
   to the class and
explain why it would
 be attractive to your
      pollinator.
     Thank You!
