Grades 3-5
Bees and Other Pollinators
Pollinators play an essential role in maintaining beautiful, healthy grasslands, but humans rely on them too! Use articles, games, a scavenger hunt, and other activities to help your students learn who pollinators are, why they matter so much, and how we can change our actions to keep these bees, bats, birds, and butterflies safe.
