About This Lesson
In this lesson plan, children become familiar with the parts of a flowering plant’s reproductive system, and explain how flowering plants depend of pollinators for survival. The flower is the reproductive unit of some plants. Parts of the flower include petals, sepals, one or more carpel (the female reproductive organs), and stamens (the male reproductive organs). Some flowers (called perfect flowers) have both male and female reproductive organs; some flowers (called imperfect flowers) have only male reproductive organs or only female reproductive organs.
