"Last week, at the Denver Botanic Gardens they looked at different parts of plants and insects, identified pollinators and described how insects help plants reproduce. Students also looked for ways plants and animals have adapted to survive in their environment."
Teacher Justine Hall also commented, "It was the perfect fall day to spend time outside exploring nature. My students were excited see their learning come to life as they examined the interactions between insects and plants in real life!"
