Pollination

In this live-action program viewers will learn that pollination is a key step in sexual reproduction among all flowering plants and the purpose of pollination is to allow individual plants to exchange genetic information. Students will come to understand that flowering plants belong in the plant group of angiosperms. They will discover that nearly all angiosperms are pollinated by animals, usually insects and that some angiosperms are wind-pollinated. The program discusses how animals and plants are engaged in a mutualistic relationship and in most cases, both the plant and the animals benefit from their interaction.
