A Simulated Pollination Exercise
Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 2000, Volume 21
Abstract
It is generally not clear from general biology texts, or from popular videos on the subject,why certain flowers require a very specific animal to carry its pollen from one plant to another. This exercise is a simulation of pollination where conditions are set up such that a specific association benefits both the flower and the pollinator. There are some parallels between this exercise and the natural world.
