Count the pollinators you see on the flowers 3. Upload your results to our database via Add a Count 7. Seniors 8. We are a 4th grade class of gifted students- we grew tons of sunflowers We are from St. Petersburg, fl. Our school is Perkins Elementary. We just harvesd our sunflower heads and we have been counting to day to see how many seeds on each head On one, there were two flowers that were sort of siamese. WE are going to send it to you. All together there were around 1051 seeds on that flower- we have questions 9. The Map 10. Getis-Ord Hot Spot analysis for Bay Area Note significant low value cluster in SF 11. Science Action Hope 12. Setting the stage for science and conservation Peralta elementary How do we take conservation action? 13. The Great Pollinator Habitat Challenge Evaluate Act. Share. 14. The Great Pollinator Habitat Challenge Evaluate Act. Share. 15. Science Action Hope 16. How can we use our practice as artists to lead our community and to tell this story? 17. The Great Pollinator Habitat Challenge Evaluate Act. Share. Take a child or school group for a walk in the garden have them interview you about pollinator habitat Invite a pollinator gardening or pollinator expert to lead an outing. Photograph or draw as many pollinators as possible, Identify them using Discover Lifes keys or our pollinator guide Learn to identify 5 new pollinators. Recruit an artist to create a film, mural, or mosaic to celebrate peoples connections with pollinators 18. By finding a way to track and value what nature provides, we will find a future in which conservation is mainstream, economically attractive and commonplace throughout the world.
