This lesson is learning about pollination and the project is creating a flower garden with bees pollinating the flowers!

Lesson: Pollination 

Purpose: To learn that bees are one of the most important animals on earth.. We need them so plants can grow.

Theme: Insects

Learning standard: compare using descriptions and drawings to explain  pollination

Learning outcomes: I would like the children to create their own beautiful garden and learn that bees fly from flower to flower spreading pollen so plants can grow new plants
