"I see and feel the pollen!"
"The nectar tastes like sugar and honey!"
"I see lots and lots of seeds! Wow...will they grow into new flowers?"
Great observations and questions, first grade! Keep up the great work!
Agricultural engineers play and important role in all our lives. Since we all depend on agriculture in some way or another, their work is very important! First graders will be learning about plant and insect parts, and the role that both these organisms play as part of a pollination system. As agricultural engineers, they'll also be discovering some of the problems that can arise when the pollination system isn't functioning properly, and of course, they'll come to the rescue developing solutions!
As part of our agricultural engineering unit, first graders took flowers apart to better understand they way they are structured. This will help students better understand the pollination system that exists between insects and flowers. Here are some great observations they made: "I see and feel the pollen!" "The nectar tastes like sugar and honey!" "I see lots and lots of seeds! Wow...will they grow into new flowers?" Great observations and questions, first grade! Keep up the great work!
