Study Notes
Parts and Functions of a Flower
- Flowers are crucial for the reproduction of flowering plants, contributing to their beauty and attraction.
- Stamen is the male reproductive organ, consisting of the anther (holds pollen sacs) and filament (supports the anther).
- Petals attract pollinators with their color and scent, facilitating pollen transfer during reproduction.
- Carpel is the female reproductive organ made up of the stigma (sticky part for pollen), style (tube connected to ovary), and ovary (develops into fruit containing seeds).
- Sepal protects the flower bud before blooming.
Reproduction in Flowering Plants
- Pollen grains adhere to the stigma during reproduction, triggering the next stages of fertilization and seed development.
- Successful reproduction leads to the ovary developing into fruit, which contains seeds necessary for germination.
Plant Identification Activity
- Activity aims to differentiate between flowering and non-flowering plants, utilizing a plant identification key.
- Gather materials like a digital camera and sketchbook for documenting observations in a local garden or park.
- Group plants based on their characteristics, such as those with flowers and those without.
Inquiry and Exploration
- Investigate characteristics used for plant identification, such as structure and reproductive features.
- Determine whether there are more flowering or non-flowering plants in the observed area.
- Compare similarities among identified non-flowering plants.
