Cross Pollinating Fast Plants

Today we had to cross-pollinate our plants!  We used a deceased bee on a stick to transfer the pollen to the flowers on another plant!  Our fast plants are growing very well and we are looking forward to harvesting the seeds that the produce!  Your student will be bringing home their very own deceased bee tonight!  They will have the bee in a ziplock bag.  Ask your student if they can tell you the parts of the bee! ( If they get stuck, remind them of the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.")
