Pollinator Educational Work at the O'Hara Nature Center

The work below is an overview of student-based learning activities focused around promoting habit space for pollinators and learning about the role pollinators play on our local ecosystems. The activities and concepts, such as “cause and effect” relationships between animals and environments are made explicit for students, helping to develop a coherent and scientifically-based view of the world around them. These Next Generation Science Standards have been aligned to activities such as; pollinator hotels and creating habitats for solitary bees, establishing native planting sites that would serve as pollinator pathways, as well as field observations on how many monarchs and other beneficial insects are present in the native plant gardens of the O’Hara Nature Center.
