Mariana’s Problem• favorite plant, Ohelo, is not growing• berries are in seeds• insects pollinate seeds• seeds aren’t getting pollinated-
why??

Why Don’t Bugs Come?• Ohelo is from Hawaii• not shaped like D.R. plants• bugs can’t get the pollen out

What Mariana Does• watches her garden for insects• records in her journal pictures and
words• sees no insects visiting Ohelo• What can she do??

Solutions• bring insects from another country• use a puff ball to transfer pollen• make her own pollinator

What She Chooses• insects can harm other plants and
people• puff ball is too big• So…. she makes her own!!

What We did• made a hand pollinator• tested aluminum foil and pipe
cleaners• pipe cleaner worked much better• why? – furry like insects legs– thinner– picks up pollen easier– less pollen falls off
