Second Graders Made Hand-Pollinators

We learned that bee populations are decreasing and we wanted to do something about it. Bees are important pollinators and we need pollinators to make seeds and fruit. Read more below the pictures.

To make our hand-pollinators, we tested materials to see how well they picked up and released "pollen" (baking soda). Then we designed, created, tested, and redesigned our hand pollinators.

     Flowers are important. First we would not have shirts without flowers. For example people use bamboo to make shirts. Next we would not have food without flowers. For example chocolate grows from flowers that grow on trees. Last plants make oxygen. For example flowers make seeds that make plants that make oxygen. That is why flowers are important to us and the world.
