Imperial Valley Discovery Zone “Inquiry Learning in Science” Developing a Model to Mimic Pollinating Animals 2-LS2-2 prepack IVDZ Hey boys and girls show me what you know! Okay, let’s practice showing our Plicker cards. Carefully read and listen to each question and all possible answers. Carefully pick an answer by holding up your card with your answer choice on top. This child chose answer D. Hold your card up until your HSE tells you to go on. D

A.The glass rod has small hair-like strands that are like those on a bee’s head. B.The Q-tip has small hair-like strands that are like those on a bee’s legs. C.The Q-tip has small hair-like strands that are like those on a bee’s wings. D.The Q-tip has a smooth texture so the pollen slipped right off.

A.So we could see which one could best “model” the way the bee picks up pollen. B.So we could see which one could best “model” the way a bee’s leg looks. C.So we could see which one could best “model” the way a bee’s eyes work. D.So we could see which one could best “model” the way a bee flies.
