Yesterday we did an activity my Multi-agers have been awaiting-POLLINATION with Cheetos and a juice box. Can you guess who the bees were? You are right...we were! My Mutli's got a die cut flower, a juice box, and Cheetos. They put the flower on top of the juice box and drank the juice-the NECTAR. While doing this, they "accidentally" rubbed their hairy bee body on the Cheetos-the POLLEN. Next they flew to other flowers and rubbed their pollen onto to them. When they were done, 16 bees had pollinated 16 flowers. So, each flower was pollinated by 16 different bees! Here is a link to the WONDERFUL teacher who shared this activity with her fellow blog followers: THANK YOU 2nd GRADE SHENANIGANS!
