Unit Overview
In this unit, students learn about pollination and the field of agricultural engineering. They then design hand pollinators to pick up pollen from model flowers and drop it off elsewhere.
Core Program Unit Components
The Virtual Learning Edition provides the instruction and support teachers need to make the engineering unit engaging and motivating for students. The unit’s three-part structure makes virtual teaching and learning flexible and easy to navigate.
- Instructional Planning: Get ready to teach.
- Launch the Unit: Explore virtual learning best practices, set expectations, introduce the unit, prepare materials and establish a schedule.
- Learning Pathway: Complete exciting engineering activities with virtual challenges that are enhanced with hands-on learning by students with individual On-the-Go Materials Kits.
Individual On-the-Go Materials Kits make learning hands-on and fun for students, even when learning in a virtual learning environment. The On-the-Go Kit includes everything one student needs to complete the challenge and practice thinking like an engineer.
