Spring: Pollinator Project: Lesson 5
Colour exploration with the pollinators
Warm-up: 10-15 mins
- Ask students to observe the pollinator plants and flowers that are growing on the school site. In groups, students will photograph the plants from close-up perspective.
 
Introduction: 10 mins
- Back in the class, ask students to compile their photos into a slideshow and discuss the range of colours in evidence.  

Development: 40 mins
- Using red, white, blue and yellow poster paints, challenge students to create a range of colours that are found in pollinator plants. It is important to explain to students that this activity is focused on colour mixing lots of blobs of colours, rather than painting flowers or plants. . 

Conclusion: 10 mins
- Assign roles to students so that everyone assists in cleaning up their painting areas. - Invite students to share their created colours with the class, and explain how they made the particular colours.
