Aligned to 2-LS2-2 — Next Generation Science Standards.
What this lesson teaches
Some animals help plants by carrying their seeds to new places or by moving pollen from flower to flower.
Worked example
A bee lands on a flower and pollen sticks to its fuzzy body, then it carries that pollen to the next flower.
Practice questions

Animales que Ayudan a las Plantas
Algunos animales ayudan a las plantas llevando sus semillas a lugares nuevos o moviendo el polen de flor en flor.
Ejemplo: Una abeja se posa en una flor y el polen se pega a su cuerpo peludo, luego lleva ese polen a la siguiente flor.
