This activity looks like a lot of fun for young learners. The activity itself should be good for all learners, but the paper at the end that students fill out to show what they have learned might give some students trouble. I would emphasize using best guess spelling for this paper, and I would spell common words that students will use on the board. If a student is really having trouble making letters or forming words, you could talk to that student individually and find out what they want to write for each blank, then copy it down for them with a highlighter or other light marker, and have the students trace what you have written with their pencils. K.NS.2 Conduct investigations that may happen over time as a class, in small groups, or independently. K.NS.6 Make and use simple equipment and tools to gather data and extend the senses. 1.3.5 Observe and describe ways in which animals and plants depend on one another for survival.

In this activity, children are taught about pollination by pretending to do it themselves. Paper bags holding cheetos have blank white pictures of flowers on them. The students go around, and grab cheetos from the bag, but each time they do, they must wipe their orange fingers on the flowers. This shows how pollination happens when bees and other animals collect pollen from flowers.
