  1. POLLINATIONMODULE REVEIW A project of : The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, The GA Museum of Natural History and Georgia 4-H Funded by the Teacher Quality Program

  2. POLLINATION MODULE REVIEWOverview: In this module, learners work as naturalists, displaying curiosity as they investigate pollinators as well as host and nectar plants on their Club site. Activities include a flower dissection, pollinator count, a cross pollination game, butterfly investigation stations and more. A GEN take-home pamphlet allows learners to extend their knowledge by looking for pollinators near their home and share their knowledge about pollination with other family members. An optional stewardship/service learning project involves learners growing and planting host and nectar plants on their school site to feed and attract more pollinators to their site.

  3. POLLINATION MODULEEnduring Understandings: Learners will understand that… * Pollinators, including bees, butterflies, flies, wasps, beetles are necessary for traits to be transferred from one plant to another. *Pollination is a vital life support function that sustains life in all ecosystems. Essential Questions: Why is pollination important to my daily existence on earth?Who pollinates flowers in my local environment?How can I help pollinators that live on my school site or in my local environment?

  4. Major Concepts:1. Plants require help from animals, wind or rain in order to mate and reproduce.2. Plants give animals rewards, such as pollen and nectar, as a lure to visit flowers.3. Plants and animals have adapted to work together.4. Pesticides, when applied inappropriately to crops, kill many beneficial insects, such as pollinators.5. Pollinators are essential for fruits, seeds, or new generations of flowering plants. 6. Pollinators are threatened by habit loss and lack of host plants.7. Some pollinators migrate each year to cope with climate and food issues. POLLINATION MODULE

  5. Each module contains 4 main Lessons as well as a suggested Citizen Science project.

  12. Welcome to the Pollination Department

  13. Every place on Earth is an ecosystem, includingour club site.

  14. In today’s club adventure we will investigate pollination eco-services… 3

  15. …provided at our club site. 4

  16. Pollination is so much fun…, bees even do headstands for it! 5

  17. Pollination is: • another name for the country of Polli. • a new way to take a survey. • how plants reproduce. 6

  18. If you guessed how most plants reproduce… You were right! 7

  19. Let’s look at the parts of a flower.Male parts: stamens (anther and filament)Female parts:pistil (stigma, style, ovary) 8

  20. Flower Parts Most flowers have both male and female parts, and it is best if pollen goes from one plant to the stigma of a different plant. 9

  21. Here’s another kind of flower, an Easter lily. 10

  22. How do plants make sure that pollen goes from one plant to another? Separate male and female flowers 11

  23. Or plants might make sure that the male & female flower parts mature at different times.

  24. Pollination Department In Garden Earth, Suga Magnolia oversees the department and all its workers. 13

  25. Suga has lots of workers.Let’s meet some of them. 14

  26. Bees 15

  27. Wasps 16

  28. Butterflies 17

  29. Beetles 18

  30. Flies 19

  31. Birds 20

  32. Bats 21

  33. Breezes(yes, the wind can pollinate) Red Maple Johnsongrass 22

  34. Why do pollinators visit flowers? • To collect pollen: used as food for bee • larvae (babies). 23

  35. Why do pollinators visit flowers? • To collect nectar: provides energy • for the pollinator or its young. 24

  36. What attracts pollinators to flowers? • Flower color • Flower odor • Deception 25

  37. Adaptations for Pollinators: Hummingbirds often visit flowers that have: • Red color • Flowers with a tube shape • Large amounts of sweet nectar • Open during day

  38. Adaptations for Pollinators: Hawkmoths often visit flowers that have: • White color • Flowers with a tube shape • Large amounts of sweet nectar • Open during night

  39. Adaptations for Pollinators: Butterflies • Many colors • Flower clusters to land on • Odorless • Small floral tubes with nectar

  40. Adaptations for Pollinators: Wind pollinated plants have: • Tiny flowers • Many flower parts missing • No nectar • Open during day or night

  41. Adaptations for Pollinators:Bees are the most common and important pollinators. • Color: yellow, blue, white • Short tube • Sweet scent • Ultraviolet patterns

  43. How will we learn about pollination ? Bees! Hardworking Pollination department workers!

  44. How will we learn about the Pollination Department? Parts of a Flower

  45. Bees & Flowers: Lots of Variation

  46. What could hurt pollinators at our site? 36

  47. Threats to Pollinators Pollinators are threatened by: • Use of pesticides • Lack of host plants • Destruction of habitat 37

  48. How can you help pollinators? • Don’t use pesticides in areas where pollinators are visiting. • Plant many different kinds of plants to provide nectar during the entire growing season. • Leave some bare areas as homes for ground nesting bees.

  49. What can we do to help the Pollination Department at our site?

  50. Quiz Yourself • Most of the trees on our school site (oak, pine, etc.) are dependent upon ________ for pollination. • Name five organisms (Pollination Department workers) that move pollen from plant to plant. • The activities of man have forced many species to the point of extinction. List two ways in which this is happening. • What benefits or rewards do plants provide for their flower visitors? • In plants, male reproductive cells are called _______________ and female cells are called _______________.
