The Parts of a Flower Sixth Grade Science Mrs. Taylor

A flower is made up of rings The outermost ring is made of SEPAL The next ring inside of the sepal are the PETALS Inside the petals are a ring of STAMEN And last, in the CENTER of the flower is the PISTIL The Parts of a Flower Click on the underlined words above to learn more about that part of a flower.

The Sepals • Sepal Fun Facts about Sepals: Sepal are found at the base of the flower. Sepal look like green petals Sepals help protect the developing bud.

The Petals • Petal Fun Facts about Petals: Petals are the colorful part of a flower. Petals attract pollinators.

The Stamen Stamen are the Male reproductive organs of a flower. The stamen produce the Male sex cells called pollen cells. Stamen Click here to learn about the parts of a Stamen

The Parts of a Stamen The stamen is made of two parts the Anther and the Filament. Filament Anther The Filament is a stalk like structure that holds up the Anther. The Anther produces the pollen cells.

The Pistil • The Pistil is the Female reproductive organ of a flower. • The Pistil produces the Female sex cells called ovules (egg cells). Pistil Click here to learn about the parts of a Pistil

The Parts of a Pistil • The pistil is made of three parts the Stigma, the Style, and the Ovary. The Stigma is the sticky surface at the top of the pistil. The ovary is at the base of the pistil and holds the ovules. Graphic taken from http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/gpe/case4/c4facts1a.html The Style is the tube like stalk that holds the stigma up.
