Hello Gardineers,
We're planning a pollination activity where students will role play as bees, flying from "flower" to "flower" and picking up "pollen" with a cotton ball or swab to simulate pollination as realistically as possible for second and third graders.
Because we run back-to-back classes all day, I'm trying to figure out how to manage materials so the "pollen" doesn't spill, get muddy/discolored or otherwise descend into chaos before lunch.
I'd love to hear all your hacks: materials, setup, cleanup systems or anything you've learned from doing this kind of activity multiple times in a row.
Thank you!
