Fourth Graders used zinnias from Northwest’s garden to investigate the flower parts. They observed the external and internal parts. The students used the flower parts to create a model and label the parts. The flower was the most interesting. They found the pistils, anthers, and the stamens. A few had seeds already forming. The project included researching and describing the jobs of each plant part.
After this project, the students were ready to look at flowers from a pollinator’s perspective. They were able to choose a flower that would attract their pollinator and explain their reason for choosing it.
