Bee Experiment
All you need are a few simple materials to try this honey bee experiment:
- 1/2 teaspoon yellow Jello
- 1/2 teaspoon blue jello powder or Kool Aid
- flower and bee printables (below)
- craft stick or straw
- tape
- spray bottle filled with water
Jello Experiment
To prepare the activity you will need to:
- Print the flower and bee templates.
- You can just set-out four white flower templates on a table or you can create a scene like we did – the experiment works the same whether you go all out or keep it simple!
- Cut out the bee and tape onto a craft stick or straw. Now roll a piece of tape and stick it to the bees behind. You are ready
- Now sprinkle 1ā2 teaspoon yellow Jello powder on top of laminated flower picture. Now repeat with blue Jello powder in two separate bowl / flower.
Bug Experiment
Have the bee fly and buzz around and between the 2nd and 3rd flowers as they mock drink the nectar as much as your child likes. Point out to students that the pollen from the plant the fine powder attaches to the bees tape much like pollen from a plant sticks to the bees body.
NOTE: Flower 1 and flower 4 are your control group. No cross-pollination occurs meaning no pollen from a different flower ends up there.
Summer Experiments
Now spray both all 4 flowers gently with a mist of water – both the 2 pollinated and the 2 non pollinated flowers. If pollination occurred the color should not just be yellow or blue, but some green to show a mix of yellow and blue pollen – pollination has occurred.
There is also a helpful worksheet to help lead children through the scientific method as they complete this pollination science experiment if you like.
