Lesson: Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants Science

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify and describe the parts of a flowering plant that are involved in sexual reproduction.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

identify the reproductive parts of a flower from simple diagrams and descriptions, including the carpel, stamen, stigma, style, ovule, and pollen,
interpret diagrams of floral whorls (calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium) and the structures contained within them,
know that flowers reproduce by pollination,
identify the sex of a flower from provided diagrams,
recognize key structures from provided diagrams (e.g., fused and separate sepals or petals).

Q1:

What structure within a flower is usually sticky to “catch” grains of pollen?

Q2:

What is the main function of sepals?

Q3:

Inside a flower, there are male and female reproductive parts. What name is given to the male reproductive organ?
