The first worksheet provides a detailed cross-section of the flower, while the second shows the whole plant, including its stem and roots. This allows students to visualise every part of a flowering plant, and provides them with a fuller picture of their components. Ovary: It is the ductless reproductive gland that holds a lot of ovules. It is the part of the plant where the seed formation takes place.

Petals: This is a bright-coloured part that attracts bees, insects, and birds. The colour of petals varies from plant to plant; some are bright while some are pale coloured. Thus, petals help us to differentiate one flower from another. Plants also grow. They take in carbon dioxide from the air around them, along with water from soil, sunlight and other nutrients. They then make sugars from everything combined. Plant cells divide and multiply once they have everything they need, and in turn the plants start to grow bigger.Along with the vegetative and reproductive parts, a flower is also composed of four whorls, which are largely responsible for the radial arrangement of a flower. A typical flower has a circular section with a common centre, which can be clearly observed and distinguished from the top of the flower. There four whorls are: The style is the elongated part of a carpel that joins the ovary to the stigma. It is the tube through which pollen is delivered to the ovary. Stigma However, some plants behave more like other living things than others. For example, the venus flytrap is one of the only types of plant with a 'mouth' and they actually eat insects. Pistil: This is the innermost part and the female reproductive organ of a flower which comprises three parts -stigma, style and ovary. This is collectively known as the pistil.

Anything that’s classed as being alive is made up of cells. Plants have cells that have different jobs. Some cells let plants absorb nutrients. Some help to turn those nutrients into fuel used for energy. Others help plants heal or get rid of harmful toxins.

Sepals: Sepal is the green-coloured part beneath the petals to protect rising buds . Some flowers have fused petals-sepals while a few have separated petals-sepals.

Petals exist to draw pollinators to the flower. It is for this reason that they are often brightly colored, showy, and of interesting patterns and sizes. The petals together form what is known as the corolla of the plant. Petals are probably the part of the flower that has most variation from plant to plant. Not only do they differ in color, size, and shape, but some petals form in several layers to create very full-looking flowers, while others appear to not have separate petals, but instead are one solid petal. Stamens This picture of parts of a flower comes labelled for your marking purposes. Looking for more resources like this flower labelled worksheet? In many flowers, the sepals fall off before the flower even opens fully. Such sepals are known as caducous.

A perianth is the scientific term for the parts of the flower that surround the reproductive organs. The perianth can be divided into two segments, the inner perianth and the outer perianth. The inner perianth is usually composed of the corolla, which is made up of a series of petals. The outer perianth is the calyx, which is typically made up of sepals. The purpose of the perianth as a whole is to protect the flower as it develops, protect the fully grown reproductive organs, and to lure pollinators to the flowers for the purpose of pollination and reproduction, ensuring the continuation of the species. Calyx Once you've completed this activity, your children can continue learning about plants and flowers at home with this exciting Plants and Flowers Hunt Sheet. Plants are classed as alive, due to these needs. Plants need to breathe - just in a different way to us and animals. Plants give out oxygen through their leaves and take in carbon dioxide. In reverse, animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
