Powerful Pollinators

In a flipped classroom-style activity students watch clips at home to deepen their knowledge about the importance of bees to our food security and the causes of declining bee populations. In class students consider strategies to ensure the survival of bees and other pollinators. Students will learn that declining biodiversity is one of many challenges associated with the systems that produce most of the food Australians eat. Students will learn about World Bee Day and create a strategy to raise awareness of this annual event at your school or local community by incorporating their understanding of the importance of pollinators to food security.
