Bienvenidos
Welcome
This week we are continuing to learn about The Power of Pollination.
We know there are lots of pollinators, and lots of plants that need to be pollinated. For the next two weeks we will be asking,
What makes a plant and a pollinator a good match?
Suggested Daily Schedule
Esta semana estamos comenzando una nueva unidad de estudio: El poder de la polinización.
Sabemos que hay muchos polinizadores y muchas plantas que necesitan ser polinizadas. Durante las próximas dos semanas la pregunta que vamos a explorar es:
¿Por qué un cierto tipo de planta y un cierto tipo de polinizador son un buen complemento?
