Monday/Tuesday, February 3/4th, 2013 February Objective: Students can explain how a flower reproduces Focus Question: How can a flower reproduce by itself? Standard:5f Students know the structures and processes by which flowering plants generate pollen, ovules, seeds, and fruits. Table of Contents:5.5 Flower Parts Homework: Due 2/5: Finish 5.5 Flower Parts and Energy Cycle Poster Agenda: • Do-Now • Stations
Gametes = sex cells: Sperm and Egg • Male Flower Gamete = Pollen (flower sperm) • Female flower Gamete = Ovules (Flower eggs) • Pollen + Ovules = Seed • 50% DNA in pollen and 50% DNA in ovule
Stations • Direct Instruction: Flower parts and practice • Group Stations: Finish Poster • Independent Station: Flower parts webquest
Standard 1d Re-Test Word bank: Chloroplast and mitochondria Sun Energy/Cell Energy, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H20), Sugar, Oxygen
What is the main function/purpose of the mitochondria? • What is the main function/purpose of the chloroplast?
How do you think pollination occurs? • In 3 sentences, tell me exactly how you think pollination happens, from the pollen on the anther to the fertilized seed
How does pollination happen? • The anther (the male reproductive part) creates pollen. • The pollen must transfer to the stigma (a female reproductive part) • The pollen tubes grow down the style (the stalk of the pistil) into the ovary • The pollen tubes reach the ovules in the ovary. • The ovules are like baby eggs • When the ovules are fertilized, they grow into seeds
Stigma TPS • Why do you think the stigma is above the anthers?
Which one do you think is better? Self-pollination or cross-pollination
Cross pollination is better! • Every organism gets half their genes from their mother and the other half from their father. • Sometimes a gene is bad. Having 2 different sets of genes means your likely to have 1 good version of every gene. • If a mother has a bad gene for blood clotting, the father’s good gene could hide it. If the mother was the only one giving genes to the offspring, then the offspring would have the bad gene.
What would happen to a plant population if a disease wiped out all insects in its habitat? • Many plants would die, especially those that need insects to pollinate them. The plants that survived would evolve, through natural selection to find new ways to pollinate. They would adapt, developing new features that help them pollinate with wind, birds, or other pollinators.
