In this activity/demonstration, learners explore pollen and how insects and animals transport pollen. Learners investigate and compare wind and animal pollination. The suggested extension activities allow learners to explore these concepts on their own by recreating the demonstration and exploring flowers outside. This activity is associated with Project BudBurst, a citizen science program for K-12 learners. [Activity is publicly available through a web crawler capture on Archive.org.]
