Second grade has been working hard on their Agricultural Engineering unit. They studied issues that happen when a new plant is introduced into an environment. They learned about the pollination process and what can happen when there are no insects to pollinate a plant. They they looked at several materials and tested each one to see which is best to pick up and drop off pollen. They each picked a different type of flower to use to design their specific hand pollinator. Each type of flower had different challenges based on how they are shaped. Their hand pollinator had to work around those challenges. Not everyone's first design worked so we had to try new things before everyone was successful. They did such a good job encouraging each other when it got a little frustrating. I was really proud of how well they showed empathy and concern. Here are some of the photos of the process.
