Bugs like flowers! They can do what we can't: fly over them and step on them! Do you know why they walk around on them? Maybe it makes their feet tickle, but there's a more important reason. Find out!
Flowers are beautiful and have so much more to offer than just beauty.
Bugs have a lot to do with how flowers grow. This lesson will teach you the relationship bugs have with making flowers!
Consider whether or not you have ever seen a bug, like a bee or a ladybug, attracted to a flower.
For instance, a honeybee is attracted to bright flowers.
As the bee lands on the flower, pollen sticks to its body. In the following video, you will see why this is important in helping flowers grow.
In your notebook, write down answers to the questions below.
At a later time, teach what you've learned to someone. See what they know about bugs and how the pollination of flowers works.
