Bell Work: 1/18/11 Work on Vocabulary: roots, stems, leaves, photosynthesis, sepal, flower, stamen, anther, filament, stigma, style, ovary, ovule, pistil, seed, fruit, pollination, petal Work on Flower Foldable If you are finished, you may get on the computer and play the flower matching games on my portaportal.
What is pollination?Write a paragraph that will answer this question using these seven words. pollination wind seed pollen flower animals germination
6-Tab Foldable Cut 1-1 ½ inches off of one of the sides. Label the foldable as follows: Pollination Plant Kingdom Wind Pollination Water Pollination Animal Pollination Pollen to Seed Seeds
Plant Kingdom: The plant kingdom is made up of two groups of plants: flowering plants & non-flowering plants. Non-flowering Plants: Flowering Plants: There are more types of flowering plants than non-flowering plants. flowers & seeds. broad-leaved trees (ex. oak tree), fruit trees, grasses, vegetables, weeds, & herbs. • mosses, lichens, & ferns • Small & low-growing • Spores & cones
Wind Pollination Pollination happens when the pollen from the male part of one plant is carried to the female part of another plant. Wind sweeps pollen off the flowers and carries it to other flowers. Wind-pollinated plants produce a huge amount of pollen. MILLIONS! The movement of pollen from one flower to another is called cross-pollination.
Cross-Pollination The bee is carrying pollen on its body as it travels from flower to flower.
Water Pollination Pollen can float on the water’s surface and be taken downstream until it comes into contact with another flower. Example: Elodea (Canadian pondweed) Cross-pollination Draw a picture of pollen floating downstream on the water’s surface and another flower in the distance.
Animal Pollination Insects, birds, small mammals, and lizards can pollinate flowers. Animals are attracted to flowers by their color, scents, and the food that they provide (pollen & nectar). Cross-pollination Animals are still needed during self-pollination, where pollen is moved from the stamen to the pistil of the same flower. These flowers have both male and female parts.
Self-Pollination Pollen is moving from the anther of the stamen to the pistil on the same flower.
Pollen to Seed To produce a seed, the male cells in the pollen must fertilize, or join with, a female egg in the ovary. After fertilization, the ovary gets bigger and turns into the fruit. The fruit protects the seeds. Seeds can be dispersed, or moved, by water, wind, or animals.
Seeds Most flowering plants grow from seeds. Each seed contains an embryo (young plant) and a store of food to help it develop. Seeds grow inside a fruit. Seeds need air, water, and warmth to germinate, or start growing. Roots will emerge first to anchor the plant. Seeds are dispersed, or moved, to new spots so they have enough room to grow. Methods of seed dispersal: water, wind, and animals (eat the fruit and poop out the seeds).
Pollination Skit You and your acting troupe must create a skit that shows the class a method of pollination and the formation & dispersal of seeds. The only prop you may use is paper.
Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant Draw a picture of the life cycle of a flowering plant. Begin with pollination and end with the plant emerging from a seed and becoming a flowering plant.
