If you're looking for a fun summer project for kids (or kids of all ages, for that matter), visit The Great Sunflower Project .
Sign up online and you'll receive a free packet of sunflower seeds. Plant the seeds in a container or directly in the ground. Then, twice a month you'll time to see how long it takes for your flower to attract 5 bees. The data will help scientists to learn about the current state of bee activity, specifically in home and community gardens.
Hurry, the free seed offer ends June 15!
