Flowers: Form and function

Students!

Mrs. Shoemaker found another "study jam," which explains the parts of a flower, and animates the fertilization process. 
Be sure to know these parts and how pollination works for next Tuesday's assessment.

Remember, the goal is learning about plant structures and functions that help in survival and increase the probability of successful reproduction.


As you work and learn, be sure to consider what environmental (natural and human) and genetic factors may REDUCE the probability of reproduction. 
If they are due to human intervention, what are some ways to help alleviate the problem?

Have fun!!
