The process where pollen is transferred from the male to the stigma of the female flower.  4. The enlarged ovary of a flower is the _____________.  5. Flowers produce ___________.

HOMEWORK : DUE FRIDAY 11/13/15  1. DRAW THE PARTS OF THE FLOWER. LABEL EACH PART AND BE ABLE TO TELL THE FUNCTION OF EACH PART.  2. WHY IS A FLOWER IMPORTANT IN PLANTS?  3. IF SOME PLANTS HAVE NO FLOWERS, HOW DO YOU THINK WILL THEY REPRODUCE?  4. BRING A FLOWER TOMORROW - TUESDAY

PROJECT PAPER DISTRIBUTION  Research paper that is argumentative in nature.  You are given approximately almost a month to finish.

TARGETS : MONDAY 6.L.1.1 : I can  1. tell what a flower is  2. Identify the major parts of the flower

TARGETS : TUESDAY 6.L.1.1 : I can  1. compare and contrast a stamen from a pistil.  2. tell what pollination is  3. examine the physical parts of the flower and be able to tell the functions of each part.

Targets : ES 6.L.1.1 Thursday  Compare and contrast sepal from a petal  Describe a pollen grain and tell the role of pollen grain in fertilization  Dissect a flower

Vocabulary : Monday flower  Flower is the reproductive structure of a plant where fertilization takes place  Sentence. The flower holds the parts of the plant that make seeds.  Your turn!

New Concept : Flower Parts and Structure  thUVk/view thUVk/view

Vocabulary Word : Tuesday STAMEN VS PISTIL  Stamen is male reproductive organ of a flower that produces pollen.  Sentence. The stamen is the organ inside the flower that makes pollen, tiny yellow particles the plant needs to reproduce

VOCABULARY : PISTIL  Pistil is the female reproductive organ of a flower that can be fertilized by pollen

NEW CONCEPT : POLLINATION  the transfer of pollen from the stamen (male) to the stigma (female)  Pollen can be transported from the stamen of one flower by other living organisms or the wind to the stigma of another flower. This is how they reproduce.

VOCABULARY WORD : THURSDAY PETAL VS. SEPAL  Petal - The parts of a flower that are often conspicuously colored.  Sepal - The outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose a developing bud.

New Concept : Thursday  POLLEN is a yellow powder produced by the stamen of a flower; pollen fertilizes the pistil of another flower (related word: pollinate)  Anther is the part of a flower's stamen that contains the pollen ; in a flower, anthers produce pollen

FILAMENT : MALE  The filament supports the anther, which is where pollen develops.

New Concept : Ovary vs Ovule  Ovary is the female reproductive organ that produces eggs  Ovule is found inside the ovary ; otherwise called “small egg”

ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY FOR THE WEEK NOVEMBER 9-13, 2015  Petal Filament Ovule  Sepal Pollen Ovary  Stamen Pistil Anther
