Activity

• Divide the class into groups of four. Explain that each group will make a flowering plant at least 4 ft. tall and will label the parts of the plant. • Using the “Flowers” poster from the set, point out the parts of the flower. Introduce the vocabulary and discuss the function of each of the parts. Have students give examples of plants they have seen. Discuss the function of the other plant parts such as the roots, stem, and leaves. • Display pictures of a number of flowering plants. Point out the parts of the plant in the picture. Each group will choose one type of flowering plant for their model. • Students will make a large model of a flowering plant, including the roots, stem, leaves, flower, and the internal parts of the flower. All parts will be labeled with the name of the part and its function. For example: Leaves make food for the plant. • When finished, students will display their giant flowering plants and present the information to the class.
