\n\tThis Quest is a journey that starts with asking questions. You’ll uncover answers about pollinators and why they are in trouble. You’ll figure out which pollinators live near you, and choose one to help. After becoming an expert on that pollinator, you’ll identify a human-caused problem affecting the pollinators around your home, school, or community. Finally, you’ll design and do a project to help solve that problem.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t
You can keep a Hero Journal as you go through this Quest to record what you learn and what you think. When you see this red pencil symbol, that’s a prompt for you to write in your Hero Journal.<\/p>\n\t\t
When you see this icon in the upper right corner, that means there are supporting resources available for you to explore the topic on that page in greater depth.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\tThe QUEST framework integrates the project-based learning approach and the engineering design process, culminating in a student-designed project that is implemented around your school or community. After learning about pollinators, students choose one species that they want to help by designing a project. This framework is intended to be flexible to meet your instructional needs, time frame, and local environment.<\/p>\n
