Pollination Simulation<br />

Have several students stand in a circle and pretend to be flowers—<br />

holding scraps of paper or cotton balls representing pollen in their<br />

hands. Have other students pretend to be bees, drinking nectar<br />

and picking up a few scraps of paper or cotton balls from each<br />

flower. Then, those students should give a few scraps of paper or<br />

cotton balls to another “flower,” simulating pollination. Repeat this<br />

exercise so that every student can be involved.<br />

➶ Above and Beyond: Have a student narrate the pollination<br />

simulation. This student should explain the process of pollination<br />

as other students act out pollination. The student should use<br />

words such as pollen, nectar, flower, and pollination in his or her<br />

explanation.<br />
