Slide 1
Hook: Look Closely at Flowers
- Flowers come in many shapes, sizes, and colors.
- They often attract animals like bees and butterflies.
- Today we'll learn how flowers help plants make seeds.
Slide 2
Main Parts of a Flower
- Petals are colorful and attract pollinators.
- Sepals are small leaf-like parts under petals.
- Stamen makes pollen; pistil holds ovules.
Slide 3
How Pollination Works
- Pollination moves pollen from stamen to pistil.
- Pollinators like bees carry pollen on their bodies.
- Pollination can lead to seeds and new plants.
Slide 4
Different Ways Flowers Spread Pollen
- Animals (insects, birds) move pollen between flowers.
- Wind can blow pollen from one plant to another.
- Some plants use water or self-pollination.
