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 />
