Use this resource with the Madagascan vanilla lesson from our Madagascar topic.

The intriguing story of growing vanilla in Madagascar is a very tasty subject for study. Children will be fascinated by the story of Edmond Albius and it gives a perfect springboard for looking at pollination.
Use this slideshow in conjunction with the Madagascan Vanilla lesson.
