Section A:
Flower Structure
Science Objectives:
Students should be able to Recognize specified floral parts on most flowers Relate each part to its function Distinguish between staminate, pistillate/carpellate and hermaphrodite flowers
What is a Flower?
Plant organ for sexual reproduction
Flowers produce gametes (sex cells) Flowers are necessary for fertilisation to occur

Mode of Pollination
1. 2.
3.
Insect-pollinated flowers may have: Brightly coloured petals Strong sweet fragrance Nectar producing glands Guidelines to lead insects to Nectar Wind-pollinated flowers may have:
Large stigmas outside the flower Little or no fragrance Light non-sticky pollen Lack showy petals Bird-pollinated flowers may have: Long tube shaped flowers Bright red and yellow flowers No odour
5.
Water-pollinated flowers may have: Pollen which floats on water (this form of pollination is rare)
Method
1. Collect specimens of two different flowers Make a labeled drawing of the individual flowers (use the flower diagram as a guide, include magnification, labels in script) 2. Dissect a flower ( a demonstration will be given) 3. Make individual drawings of the petals, sepals, stamens, and pistils/carpels 4. Dissect the pistil/carpel and make a labeled drawing of the ovary and the ovules lying within it
Lets elaborate
1. Collect/ find two flower specimens. 2. Draw the first specimen in detail, making sure to draw each part of the organism. 3. Label each part of the organism that is visible without taking apart the flower. 4. Write a sentence using a sentence frame about each of the parts.
Lets elaborate
5.After you have labeled each part, dissect (or take apart by hand) the flower to locate the inner parts. 6. Label each inner part of the flower organism. 7. Write a sentence using a sentence frame about each inner part.
Criteria
Clean continuous lines of even thickness No shading or unnecessary detail Reasonable size
