Introduction
As we look around in our environment we can see a lot of things that can be classified as living or
non-living things such as trees, plants, roads, houses, clouds and many others. Hence, flower is one of the
things that we can see around us. Flowers really catch our attention as it is colorful and beautiful indeed.
Actually, a flower is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. The biological function of a
flower is to produce seeds. The process begins with pollination, followed by fertilization, leading to the
formation and dispersal of the seeds.
Task
As science class pupils, you are assigned to collect different kinds of flowers especially those are big
enough to examine the parts like gumamela.
You will be divided into five groups to perform the activity.
Process
Step 1: The class will be divided into groups that contain five members each. Each group member should
participate and have a specific role to do.
Member 1 and 2
Member 3 and 4
Member 5
Do a research and collect the different flowers available in their
area and should list the names of the flowers.
Identify the different specific parts of each flower and define each
function.
Finalize the written report and also help in identifying the part.
Step 2: You will begin to perform this activity by doing some research about the parts of flowers.
Step 3: After, if you have enough background you can start to do the said activity.
Step 4: Finalize the output of the group and conduct a peer evaluation.
Resources
For your ease, we have provided already the different kind of web sites, but you can also do some
additional research.
