Write down tonight’s HW: Summary Paragraph below sketch
Do Now: THINK PAIR SHARE
What is the difference between self- pollination and cross-pollination?

2. Pollination/Pollinator Video

3. Turn to page 13 Title “Pollinators” & Date
Create T-Chart

4. 1) Tape In Chart 2) Copy Notes Underneath Chart
Nectar: sweet liquid secreted by flowers used to attract pollinators, not needed in plants pollinated by wind and water

5. Agents of pollination - Non-living agents
Wind Write in first row of chart
Flowers are colorless, odorless, nectar-less, produce a lot of pollen
Pollen is light, small, dry smooth, not sticky, unwettable
Stigma is hairy, feathery, sticky, or branched to catch pollen
Petals are short/anthers are exposed so pollen grains can blow away
Many trees and crop plants heavily depend on wind pollination. Such as pines, spruces, oaks and elm trees and corn, rice, wheat and oats.
The pictures above show the wind blowing the pollen from the tree and crop plant

6. Agents of pollination - Non-living agents
Water Write in second row of chart
Flowers are small and simple
Nectar and odor are absent
Stigma is long, sticky but unwettable
Pollen is light and unwettable
Pollen can float on the water’s surface or beneath it. In doing so, it can come in contact with a flower. Aquatic plants depend on this type of pollination.
This flower belongs to the freshwater plant called vallisneria. Its flowers detach and float on the surface water
