2. How does pollen get transferred from one flower to another? Teacher master JJ, Bee and Flower Pollination Slide 2 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 1

3. What adaptations do flowering plants have to accomplish pollination? Focus question Slide 3 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 2 Write your first ideas.

4. Notebook sheet 55, Pollination Syndrome A Show the flowers Slide 4 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 3 Get four hand lenses. Work in pairs to observe the flowers. Do NOT dissect or destroy the flowers. They will be used the rest of the day. Start with part 1.

5. What flower characteristics do you think might attract pollinators? Gather ideas Slide 5 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 4

6. Turn to “Flower Information” on page 122 in FOSS Science Resources. Flower information Slide 6 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 5

7. Use the FOSS Science Resources to make more detailed observations in part 2 of the notebook sheet. Look for a flower that is similar to yours to think about internal structures. If a flower has nectar, it is found in a structure called a nectary. Make detailed observations Slide 7 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 5

8. Notebook sheet 56, Pollination Syndrome B Consider pollinators Slide 8 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 6

9. Read “Flowers and Pollinators” in FOSS Science Resources on page 126. Consider pollinators Slide 9 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 6

10. We will read the first page of the article together. coevolution Consider pollinators Slide 10 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 6

11. What do pollinators get out of their relationship with flowers? What do flowers get out of their relationship with pollinators? Consider pollinators Slide 11 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 6

12. Use the “Flowers and Pollinators” article to predict what kind or kinds of pollinators would be attracted to your flower. Record the predictions in part 4 of your notebook sheet. Take a few photos of your flower to share with the class. Pollination syndrome Slide 12 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 7

13. Each group will share their claims and evidence as to what pollinators they think would be attracted to their flower. The other groups should come up with a clarifying question or be prepared to agree or disagree with the claim and provide evidence. Share findings Slide 13 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 9

15. “Pollinators Game” View online activity Slide 15 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 10

16. Spend a few minutes reviewing the vocabulary for this part. Update the vocabulary index and table of contents in your notebook. coevolve pollination pollination syndrome pollinator Review vocabulary Slide 16 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 11

17. Use a Frayer model to better understand the concept of pollination. Review vocabulary Slide 17 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 11

18. What adaptations do flowering plants have to accomplish pollination? Answer the focus question Slide 18 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 12 Include general information and what you learned from your own flower observation.

19. Review your notebook entries to find the big ideas in this investigation. Write your list on chart paper and be prepared to explain what you have written. Wrap-up Slide 19 Diversity of Life Course, 6.4: Flowers and Pollinators Step 13
