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!
Ask a parent or teacher if they have ever seen a bug, like a bee or ladybug, attracted to a flower. Discuss with them why they think certain bugs are attracted to certain flowers. For instance, a honeybee is attracted to bright flowers.
As the bee lands on the flower, pollen sticks to its body. In this Characteristics of Insect Pollinated Flowers by CBSE video, you will see why this is important to how flowers grow:
In your notebook, write down some bugs mentioned in the video.
Discuss these questions with a parent or teacher. See what they know about bugs and flowers!
We help prepare learners for a future that cannot yet be defined. They must be ready for change, willing to learn and able to think critically. Elephango is designed to create lifelong learners who are ready for that rapidly changing future.
