May Flowers

Elementary and middle schoolers create decorative flowers using wire armatures and a special paint that remains flexible when it dries. The results from this project are stunning, but the materials needed may be tough to track down. An...

Beginning biologists pull a flower apart and familiarize themselves with the different reproductive structures. Why have them learn only from just a book or diagram when they can examine real samples? There is no link to the referenced...

Learn about plants and pollination with a worksheet about the parts of a flower. After labeling the anatomy of a flower using a word bank, kids explain the difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination, and unscramble the...

This could be really good, or it could be really bad! The crime to be solved is, "Who went pee in the flowerpot?" Given four imitation urine samples, young chemists or crime scene investigators perform pH, glucose, and turbidity tests to...

Turn your classroom into a pollination station as your kids transform into moths or predators trying to survive and aiding in plant reproduction along the way. Using silent party blowers as proboscises, the moths will have two minutes to...

What a bright idea! Young scientists conduct an experiment on flowers to finish the last of a six-lesson unit on Cells. Putting the stems into dye-injected water and leaving it overnight results in flowers that glow. This is to simulate...

First-time florists will be able to label the structures of simple and composite flowers after reading this handout and answering the comprehension questions. There are a couple of grammatical errors in the text, but the content is...

Some weddings have flowers in a unique, unnatural color to match the theme. Young scientists take part in this process to learn about the function of the xylem as they observe colored water moving through a flower. Then, they experiment...

Students investigate how flowering plants reproduce. They identify and describe the functions of the major sexual organs of a flower and fruit by examining and dissecting flowers and fruit.

Students label the parts of a flower. In this lesson plan on the parts of a flower, students are given an flower bloom to dissect. Students label the parts of the flower and write paragraphs describing the flower parts.
