Agenda

• Identified flower parts like petals and sepals.

• Understood stamens and pistils.

• Learned about pollination.

• Discovered how flowers make seeds.

Welcome to the World of Flowers!

Flowers are beautiful and important parts of many plants around us. They help plants make new seeds, which can grow into new plants. Think about a bright red rose or a tall yellow sunflower – they all have special parts inside!

Beautiful flower, essential for plant reproduction.

What We'll Learn Today

• Identify the four main parts of a flower.

• Explain the job of petals and sepals.

• Describe the role of stamens and pistils.

• Understand how flowers help make seeds.

Meet the Flower!

A flower is a very important part of a plant! It helps the plant make new seeds, so more plants can grow. Think about a beautiful rose or a sunflower; these are all flowers working to create new life.

Flower anatomy: petals, stamen, pistil, sepal, ovary, style, stigma.

The Stem: A Strong Supporter

The stem is like a strong pillar that holds the flower and leaves up towards the sunlight. It also acts as a highway, carrying water and important nutrients from the roots all the way up to every part of the plant. A tall sunflower stem, for example, needs to be very strong to support its heavy head.

Stem's internal structure: pillar and highway for plants.

The Leaf: Food Factory

Leaves are like tiny kitchens for plants, making all their food. They use sunlight, water, and air (carbon dioxide) to create sugary food in a process called photosynthesis. For example, a maple leaf works hard all day to feed its tree, helping it grow tall and strong.

Leaf's intricate patterns: nature's tiny food factories.

Sepals: Flower Protectors

Sepals are like small, green leaves that wrap around a flower when it's still a bud. They act as a protective blanket, keeping the delicate petals safe before they open. Think of how a rose bud is tightly closed; its sepals are doing the protecting.

Flower buds protected by sepals, ready to bloom.

Petals: Attracting Helpers

Petals are often the most colorful and beautiful part of a flower. Their bright colors, interesting patterns, and sweet scents are designed to attract special helpers. These helpers, like buzzing bees and fluttering butterflies, are called pollinators.

Colorful leaf veins attract pollinators, like bees and butterflies.

Inside the Flower: Reproduction

• Stamen: The male part of the flower.

• It makes pollen, like tiny yellow dust.

• Pistil: The female part of the flower.

• It holds the eggs that become new seeds.
