This week in lab, we first checked on our fast plants. Ours has grown a lot since last week, but our plant was not ready for pollination. Then, we discussed organisms and their environment, specifically sea turtles. We listened to a book about turtles and then played a game using a fortune teller. We also did two worksheets after this game about the information on the fortune tellers. We learned about all parts of a plant, including male and female parts:
Female Parts: Pistil, which includes the stigma, style, and ovary. Stigma: The part of the pistil where pollen germinates. Ovary: The enlarged basal portion of the pistil where ovules are produced
Male Parts: Stamen, which contains the anther and filament.
Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced. Another holds the pollen (sperm) of the plant.
Filament: The filament supports the anther
Petal: The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored
Sepal: The outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like)
I didn't have any questions about this material! I remember learning parts of plants when I was in elementary school!
Hi Alivia! I really like how you put the definitions of the plant parts in your blog! That could be useful for you when you start teaching in the future. I thought that the fortune teller game was a great idea that can be used in our future classrooms. It doesn't even have to be used for science!
ReplyDeleteHi Alivia! I like that you included definitions of the flower parts. This is important information to understand when learning about pollination, especially for elementary students. I also enjoyed the sea turtle lesson and the activities that went along with it. I could definitely see myself using this book, activity, and discussion in the future. Great post!
ReplyDeleteAlivia, your plant is looking great! Thank you for including the parts of the flowers! I loved how you added that!
