Examining a flower - Chrysanthemum or Orchid






















On 14 August, we had a Science Activity on "Examining a flower". Each pupil was given either a chrysanthemum or an orchid. The activity in the workbook requires the pupils to paste the parts of the flower into the workbook. However, I stretched the ability of my 3-Caring pupils by showing them pictures of these flowers with their parts labelled. Hence, by examining their flowers and comparing to the pictures from the visualiser, they had learnt the various parts of a flower such as petals, sepals, anthers. They would be learning about this when they are in Primary 5. My pupils were also astonished to know that a flower has a male and female organs. Hence, from this lesson, they had learned that a flower does not only turn into a fruit, it has 2 sexual organs too. :)
