1. Class will begin with expectations, introductions and students will show and tell about a flower they have brought to class. 2. I will read “The Reason for a Flower," by Ruth Heller and we will discuss the text during reading. 3. Students will follow along with the teacher as they dissect a flower. 4. They will tape the flower parts in the correct space on the handout which is provided for download after class registration. Look for the download at the bottom of my message on the classroom page. 5. If time allows, I will show a PowerPoint presentation that includes pictures and videos of flowers. 6. Students will then volunteer to show their flower dissection paper, name a flower part and a fact about it.
Learning Goals
Students will learn flower parts and vocabulary; petal, sepal, pistil, anther, stamen, stigma, style, stem, pollen, pollination, nectar, seeds and angiosperm. Students will label flower parts; petal, sepal, anther, stamen and pistil.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students who have plant allergies may skip the hands on dissection and participate through discussion and the cut and paste handout.
Supply List
If able, please bring at least one flower to class. Bigger flowers with visible parts are preferable. Lilies are a great choice. Also bring the print out, scissors, tape, glue and a paper or surface that won't hurt if it gets a little dirty. If for some reason you are not able to print out the handouts, students can label the parts on a plain sheet of paper with a pencil or other writing instrument. You may want to bring a magnifying glass if you have one.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
