Instead of just studying the basic parts of a flowering plant, I decided to have the kids learn all the detailed parts of a flowering plant. The best way to do this, is to do it "hands on" with real flowers. Yesterday we went to the computer lab and went to various websites to learn about the parts of a plant (websites are on one of the posts from yesterday). Today we looked at and dissected flowers to find all these parts. To be honest, I am not the best botanist, so we were all learning together. :)
Here are some of the kiddos looking at their flower with a magnifying glass. We also moved our desks around today just to do this project. If it were up to the kids, they would stay this way.
Here are some flowers and inside parts close up.
This is a sheet that the kids used to identify the parts of the flower.
