Task: Observe the process of fertilization in plants and the changes that occur in a flower after fertilization. Explain your observations.
Objective: Understand the process of fertilization in plants, focusing on the observable changes in flowers after fertilization occurs.
Focus: Identify specific changes in the flower (e.g., ovary development, seed formation). Analyze the correlation between fertilization and these changes.
