Second graders loved learning about pollination! They each designed and made a pollinator of their choice. They then used their pollinator to demonstrate how pollination works by going from flower to flower around the room.

Great job kiddos!

Biology students explored the concept of adaptations and how they are crucial for survival by designing butterflies that had to adapt to their classroom environment. To bring their learning to life, 1st-grade art students visited the classroom to see if they could find the butterflies, hidden among the surroundings. A fun and collaborative way to connect science and art!
