2. Making a flower Colour in the parts of the flower Female parts red
Male parts blue
Stem (Tabs) green
Petals – your choice.
2. Cut flower parts out and stick the tabs together in order.
3. Stick your flower into your book.
4. Match the flowers to their job.
Making a flower
Petals
Anther
Ovary
Stigma
Pollen
Stem
Where pollen is left by an insect
Holds the flower up
These may attract the insect to the flower and are protective
The male sex cell
Where pollen is made
These contain the ovule or egg

3. DISSECTING A FLOWER
Carefully remove one petal. Draw the petal and describe what you see. Describe what it looks like, how it was connected to the flower and how many petals the flower had.
Below the petals are sepals. Draw a sepal and describe what you see.
Look at the stamen (male part of the flower. How many are there? What is being produced on the anther? What are the anthers supported by? Record what you see then draw it.
4. Carefully cut through the middle of the plant This should reveal the female part of the plant. This is called the carpel. Draw what you see and describe your observations. Make sure you record where the eggs or ovum are stored in the flower.

4. Flowers are the ______ part of the plant
Carpel
Filament
Stamen
Anther
Sepal
Stigma
Ovary
Style
Petal

5. FLOWERS
The male reproductive organs in a flower are called the stamen.
What parts of the flower make up the stamen?
Where is the male pollen produced?
******
The female reproductive organs in a flower are called the carpel.
What part of the flower makes up the carpel?
Where in the flower will the flowers eggs or seeds grow?

6. The pollen moves from the male anther to the female stigma
Pollination
Insect Pollination
The pollen moves from the male anther to the female stigma
Wind Pollination
Wind

7. Fertilisation
Pollen sticks on sticky stigma
Pollen tube grows down to ovary
Pollen nucleus fuses with egg in ovary

8. Fertilisation
1. Pollen sticks on sticky stigma
2. Pollen tube grows down to ovary
3. Pollen nucleus fuses with egg in ovary

9. Fertilisation
1. Pollen sticks on sticky stigma
2. Pollen tube grows down to ovary
3. Pollen nucleus fuses with egg in ovary
This is fertilisation.

10. The fertilised egg (ovum) develops into a seed.
Seed Production
The fertilised egg (ovum) develops into a seed.
The ovary develops into the fruit

11. Germination
The seed starts to grow shoots and roots. A new plant is formed.

12. 1. Pollination
4. Germination
The Plant Cycle
2. Fertilisation
3. Seed production

13. Fertilisation Fertilisation Pollination Insect Pollination Pollination

15. Pollination is the movement of the pollen from one plant to another
The male sex cells are the pollen grains
The male pollen grain lands on the female sticky stigma
The female sex cells are the egg cells
Fertilisation is when the pollen grain and egg cell nucleus join together.
The pollen grain grows a pollen tube to the female ovary.
