Hey there, welcome back to another Science Saturday!
According to the US Forest Service, almost 80% of all crop plant types grown worldwide require animal pollination.
That’s a LOT of weight for bees, bats, and other little pollinators to bear…
Now you and your student can support them by building a pollinator hotel with our DIY project! |
|
| Using simple materials you can find around your house like a 2-liter bottle, sticks, pinecones, and leaves, you and your student will create a pollinator hotel in under an hour.
This hands-on project not only provides a safe haven for insects to find rest and shelter, but also offers a practical lesson in ecology and conservation. Your student will learn about concepts like symbiosis and mutualism while helping to preserve your area’s biopersity.
BONUS: Every region has different pollinators. Research your local pollinators ahead of time so you can make a hotel that caters to their specific needs.
Don’t forget to snap photos of your pollinator hotel and share them with us on Instagram @homesciencetools – we'd love to feature your student’s creation! |
