Description

The Bucket Orchid Pollinator Model was developed by STEM Pre-Academy as an engineering design challenge tool for teachers, and over time, it has been proven engaging and fun for the students.

Teachers have used this to teach students the importance of these pollinators and plant morphology while integrating the engineering design process to develop a hand pollinator.

With this model, students can test their different prototypes of pollinators in the classroom. Each kit includes one pollinator model and ten "pom-poms" to simulate pollen.
