    Wind and Insect Pollination Card Sort

    This document provides a card sort activity that asks students to sort cards describing flower adaptations into two groups - wind-pollinated flowers and insect-pollinated flowers. The cards describe characteristics of wind-pollinated flowers like having feathery or sticky stigmas outside the plant, bright petals, and producing large quantities of light, small pollen grains. In contrast, the cards for insect-pollinated flowers note features like having firm anthers inside petals, sticky stigmas inside the flower, dull or no petals, large sticky pollen grains, and an absence of nectar.
