Pollination, Fertilisation &

Seed Dispersal
L.O. To understand the processes of pollination and
fertilisation.
To know the different methods of seed dispersal.
 Parts of a Flower
• What parts do you remember?

• What is their function?

Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant
 Reproduction
• Male part: Stamen
Anther – contains pollen
Filament – holds anther up

Stigma – sticky to catch pollen
Style – hold stigma up
Ovary – contains egg

 Questions
• Describe the processes of pollination and
fertilisation.
• Why does pollination and fertilisation
occur?
• What is seed dispersal?
• Make a table of the different methods of
seed dispersal and give examples for each
method.
 Growth
• A plant needs light, carbon dioxide, and
water to make food.

• They need to be at the right temperature.

• Minerals are also important – these keep

the plant strong and healthy.
