Third Graders Investigate Flowers
Posted by Mary CurranThird graders have been examining the structures and processes of roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds. As part of their plant study, students learned the importance of flowers and their role in reproduction and attracting pollinators. The young botanists investigated a nasturtium flower from the Unquowa garden and carefully documented their observations. They recorded the number of petals and stamens and were challenged to identify the pistil. Many students even located the nectar at the base of the flower with a toothpick and were excited by its exceptionally sweet taste!
