Build a Flower Model-due 3/13, Thur

Objectives
Build a model of a flower
Explain how the model represents a real flower
Describe the basic parts of a flower

Using recycled materials and art supplies-pipe cleaners, paper plates, yogurt containers, string, buttons, beads, and yarn

Include the following structures-pistil, petal, stigma, anther, filament style, stamen, ovary, sepal, stem

Draw Conclusions
4. How might you flower attract pollinators? What modifications could you make to your flower to attract a greater number of pollinators?

Evaluating Models
5. Is your model an accurate representation of a flower? Why or why not?

Making Predictions
6. If you based your flower model on a plant species that had flowers that did not have both male and female parts, how would that model be different from your current model?

Applying your Data
Research flowering plants whose flowers do not have both male and female reproductive parts. Build models of the male flower and the female flower for one of these flowering plants. Then, compare the new models to your original model, which include both male and female reproductive parts.
