Science content Biology: Features, Adaptations of Living Things (K, 1, 3, 7) Biology: Sensing, Organ Systems (4, 5, 6) Chemistry: Atoms, Molecules (3-7) Activities in this lesson Flower colours Posting game Plant smell matches and their molecules Bee pheromone molecules Procedure Do a selection of the activities to understand the molecules and chemical reactions underlying processes in living things. Notes For Tyee primary and lower intermediate classes I did flower colours, then posting game with plant molecule smells For Tyee Ks I did flower colours, then smelled lilac, rosemary and lavender, discussing why they have these smells (to attract or repel insects). For Tyee intermediates I did flower colour, then plant smell matches and molecules, then optional bee pheromone molecules. Gordon Elementary did flower colours then posting game with smell molecules.
