Are you looking for an inquiry-based approach to teaching ecology concepts? This biology project based learning pollinator project does just that. Students will design a pollinator garden for a pollinator of their choice. They will research pollinator behaviors, habitat requirements, food sources, etc. Students will choose plants for their garden using the guiding materials available, create a final product to share their garden design and instructions for others to build the garden. This project is low-prep and free as long as students have access to a computer and the internet. *Note: Students will not build a physical garden unless you choose to require it. This particular resource only requires designing and creating a final product to share with an authentic audience in the community. The idea behind this resource and all resources under my "PBL/maker" product line is to merge the effective learning principles of project-based learning with design thinking. Each project requires exploration, inquiry, brainstorming, trial, and error, problem-solving, the assistance of community experts, authentic presentations, and innovative outcomes. Students are actively engaged throughout the project process because it is student-centered by nature. This resource includes a printable and Google Slides digital option. The product is not editable at this time. This Resource Includes: Teacher guide Student guide Exploration and brainstorming guide sheets Research guides Design-templates Reflection Project Rubric Relevant Blog Posts: How to Add Design Thinking to Your Curriculum Components of Project-Based Learning Related Products: STEM Challenge: Wind Pollinator Adaptations Scientific Open Inquiry: Phototropism Project-Based Learning: Species Migration Free Resources from Experiential Learning Depot: Start with my free project-based learning tools mini-bundle, which includes a sample digital PBL planner, implementation spreadsheet, and student project portfolio template.
