What 'The Buzz' is About on My American Farm
Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:29:27 CST
"The Buzz," a new interactive and educational game, was recently released by the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture, a premiere provider of ag education resources. Available on the My American Farm educational site, the free game focuses on the power of pollinators and reinforces science learning expectations by having learners explore pollinator habitats and correctly label the parts of the bee and butterfly. The game was developed for Kindergarten through second-grade students.
The Buzz players will travel to "Pollinatorville" and discover the important role bees and butterflies play in food production through a series of educational and fun challenges. Players sort items to identify which pollinators live, work and eat in various areas.
The Buzz can be played both in the classroom and at home. A supporting lesson plan, "My Butterfly Book," will help young readers explore the pollination process as they develop their own book. An activity sheet, "Build a Pollinator" is also available.
The My American Farm educational resource is a special project of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture. The site and resources are made possible through the generous support of title sponsor, DuPont Pioneer.
