LESSON NOTES
L1
After watching Video:
Discuss with students the structure of flowers. Begin by making a list of all the flower parts
they know. Then show students a diagram of a flower and discuss the locations of the parts of
the plants and their functions. The following parts should be included in this discussion:
pistil, stigma, ovary, ovule, stamen, anther, petal, and sepal.
Once students are familiar with the different flower parts, have each student select a flower
to study. Ask students to observe the flower with their eyes and with a magnifying glass.
Flower Investigation on which to record observations. First, have them answer the following
questions on their sheets:
 How big is the flower?
 What is the shape of the flower?
 Does the flower have a color?
 Does the flower have an odor?
 What flower parts can you see?
What is the difference between self -pollination and cross-pollination?
1. Give the children a quick quiz recapping on the following - that plants need light, warmth and water to grow well; that plants
need healthy leaves, roots and stems to grow well; that a number of plants need to be used in investigations to provide
reliable evidence.
2. Explain that reproduction is a process that all living things do. Reproduction of flowering plants is made possible through the
processes of pollination, seed production, seed dispersal and germinati
Pollination is the method flowers use to connect these parts. Pollen carries the sperm that unites with the ovule located in the center
of the flower. When the sperm from the pollen unites with the ovule, an embryo grows that contains the pieces of genetic information
contributed by both parents.
How does pollination work?
Pollination happens when pollen created from the plant’s male reproductive system (called the anther or stamen) is moved to the female reproductive system (called the
stigma or pistil). This fertilizes the plant’s cells to produce seeds.
Have you seen how bees surround your garden? If you try to observe them carefully, bees go from one flower to another as they try to gather nectar (a sugary drink) from
the flowers. Nectar which turns to honey serves as food for the bees, and as the bees pass through each flower the pollen sticks from the plants’ anther onto the bees’
legs, and then gets transported to the stigma. This makes up pollination.
Sometimes bees that are bred from a big colony in a huge hive also gather pollen on purpose as they collect the nectar. This makes pollination more frequent and
effective in generating seeds from the plants. Most plants rely on bees and other insects or animals for pollination, although certain plants can be pollinated by wind or
water.
What are the types of pollination?
There are different ways for plants to be pollinated.
 Cross-pollination is the more common way of pollination. This is the type of pollination that happens when bees travel from one plant to another, carrying and
transferring pollen in the process. Other insects can also help pollination in plants. These insects are attracted to the pleasant scent and striking beauty of the flowers, so if
you see gorgeous flowers with different pretty colours you can think that this is to attract insects that can help in pollination. The nectar from the flowers draw the insects
towards it. Once a flower or plant is pollinated, seeds will start to sprout. Insects are also not the only animals that can aid in pollination. Some mammals and birds can
also help transport pollen or seeds from one place to another, and help pollination. For some plants, pollination can occur through the help of wind or water. These plants
either do not have attractive flowers or lack nectar, and are designed to have pollen transported by wind or water.
 Self-pollination is a type of pollination that does not need the help of others. Pollen grains can transfer from the stamen to the pistil by itself. These plants are
fertile on their own, although you will find only a few plants that have this characteristic. Certain food plants like tomatoes belong to this category. Plants that do not need
others to pollinate can produce seeds that grow into fruits faster, but to create varieties of a single type of fruit needs human intervention. Some plants that use self-
pollination either have the capability to move the pollen from its stamen to its pistil, or move its pollen to the pistil of another plant.

If no pollination occurs, then plants will not be able to grow

seeds, and no other plants will be made• Flower pollen is

produced and released from an anther.• Pollen is moved to
another flower by the wind or animals.• Pollination takes place
when pollen lands on the stigma of
a plant.• The pollen travels down to the ovary and fertilizes
ovules. Seeds will be formed. Mostly, plants rely on insects,
such as bees, to take the pollen from the anthers of one flower
to the stigma of
another flower.
Students review the parts of the plant and recognize the parts that are important for pollination. In this pollination instructional activity, students illustrate and label the
parts of a flower. Students compare different types of flowers.
