Zion National Park
Pollination Investigation
- Type: Distance Learning
- Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade
In this distance learning program, students will discover what pollination is and how important it is to all ecosystems. Looking at the relationship between plants and pollinators, participants will see how they have influenced each other and will be challenged to create their own perfect pollinator. (45 minutes)
Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park
Pollination Exploration
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Lower Elementary: Pre-Kindergarten through Second Grade
Pollinators are everywhere! Learn about how plants are pollinated. Meets Kentucky 2nd grade science standards. This lesson was created by Kentucky teachers as a part of the History and Science Explore Project
Zion National Park
Pollination Adaptations: Connecting Habitat and Anatomy
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Lower Elementary: Pre-Kindergarten through Second Grade
Have you ever wondered why bees are so fuzzy? Or how they’re able to find flowers and then travel back to their nests? Or even wanted to know why bees are such good pollinators? Students will have the opportunity to explore the answers to each of those questions. Once students have a basic understanding of bee body parts, they can design their own bee based around a Zion habitat. Students can be as creative as they like—as long as they provide an explanation for how their bee can thrive in Zion!

- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
What is a pollinator? Students will •identify different pollinators •explain the importance of pollinators in the environment •calculate the amount of time and work it takes to be a pollinator
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Learn about pollinators.
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
What can you do to help pollinators? Students will •explain different threats to pollinators in the world •describe one or two actions they can take to help pollinators •build and/or plant a “bee helper” for their backyards
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
What adaptations do flowers have to ensure their pollination and survival? Students will •Observe and dissect the parts of flowers that help them survive •Compare the form of the structural adaptations of a flower to their functions •Explain how the adaptations allow flowers to survive
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
What adaptations do bees have to be effective pollinators and to survive? Students will •observe and dissect the external structural adaptations of honey bees •compare the form of the structural adaptations of honey bees to their functions •explain how the adaptations allow honey bees to be effective pollinators and survivors
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
If you were an engineer, how would you create a “bee” to help pollinate plants? Students will •analyze parts needed by a robotic bee to operate efficiently •describe different structures and functions of their robotic bee •create a robotic bee that would be able to accomplish pollination
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
This lesson is based on the National Register of Historic Places registration files for Wye House, Nathan and Polly Johnson House (and photographs), and Frederick Douglass National Historic Site (and photographs), as well as other source materials on the life of Frederick Douglass.
Glacier National Park
Who Says Plants Can't Move?
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Student volunteers move around the classroom and role play different techniques to model the various ways plants can distribute their seeds. They observe a variety of seeds/berries from their neighborhood.

Graphic Fractions
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade
The teacher will introduce the concept of voting. Lead whole group discussion of voting questions, such as "When will a woman be elected President of the United States". Poll students on a pre-selected group of issues, followed by a showing of the "graphing" video (see link). Divide the class into small groups or pairs to create graphs. Once graphs are posted around the classroom, each student will individually formulate fractions from each of the graphs for credit.
