    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING...identifying the parts of a flower
    • We are FOCUSING...explaining the following processes that occur in plant: Photosynthesis, Pollination, Fertilization, Seed dispersal and germination.

      • Success Criteria:  I can/have...

      • identified the part of a flower
      • drawn a neat labelled diagram of the flower identifying and labelling its part
      • describe the process of fertilization in a flower
      • explain the methods of seed dispersal and purpose of seed dispersal

      Activities:

      1. Watch the various related videos - See Edpuzzle tasks assigned through Google Classroom

      Homework task:

    • Make a graph of most common colours or types of flowers found in gardens at school or home, style="font-size: medium; color: rgb(41, 121, 255);">Estimate, count and record the numbers of petals on different flowers
