A receptacle sits at the top of a stalk underneath the main portion of the flower. It is often enlarged to support the weight of the flower, or the fruit when it develops. Its main function is to both connect the stalk to the flower and to support the flower. Peduncle The ovary produces and contains unfertilized seeds. It sits centrally inside the flower at the base of the carpel. Once fertilized, it is the ovary that develops into the fruit of the plant. Ovule 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. Don't forget to grab this Poster for Tulips too! It’s perfect to use as part of a topic display on flowers in your classroom or home learning space. A fertilized ovary swells to protect the developing seeds and transforms the flower into a fruit. Inside the fruit, a fertilized ovule becomes a seed, from that the plant can be sown and an entirely new plant created ( University of Illinois Extension). Other Parts of a Flower Corolla

In many flowers, the sepals fall off before the flower even opens fully. Such sepals are known as caducous. Petals are brightly coloured and scented to attract animals and insects for pollination. The calyx and corolla are collectively called the perianth. The calyx is the outermost whorl of a flower. It comprises sepals, and tiny leaves present at the base of a flower. These protect the flower whorls against mechanical injuries and desiccation. Some plants have coloured sepals the calyx and are called petaloid. Ovules are contained within the ovary, and in the event of successful pollination, they will become the seed of the fruit. AntherFlowers are pretty incredible. There’s such a huge variety of different flowers, and they all have unique ways to attract pollinators so that they can reproduce. The result of this is the sheer number of different flowers you can see when you’re out and about. The UK has an abundance of beautiful wildflowers that can be found in all manner of places - if you know where to look! Here are a few of the most common wildflowers you might find: Sepals are the exterior parts of a flower that protect the interior flower while it emerges. Sepals are typically green and leaf-like, as they are in fact modified leaves, but it is possible for them to be almost any color depending on the type of plant. The sepal is the first part of the flower to grow, forming at the uppermost end of a stem. The sepal creates a bud around the emerging flower, and its key responsibilities are to protect the flower as it grows and prevent it from drying out. Not all flowers have sepals, and in some cases, the sepals are modified into bracts that surround the flower. They are often brightly colored, and in many cases, the bract draws more attention than the flower itself. Petals Flowering plants reproduce through pollination. It’s a process where there are female organs, called pistils, and male organs, called stamen. The pollen that’s in the stamen has to be moved into the pistil. Start with a truly interactive resource that'll teach children the parts of a flower excitingly. Simply launch this Parts of a Flower Hotspots material and let your pupils explore the petals, the stamens and more. It's not only a super engaging activity, it's also a highly informative one, with additional descriptions attached to the parts.

Inspire your children's fascination with flowers by displaying this Fancy Flower Poster. How can I support KS1 teaching of the parts of a plant? 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. And if you and the children liked this picture of parts of a flower labelled activity or the ones suggested above, why not try similar fantastic teacher-made resources?We also have a great selection of plant resources and worksheets - all great for KS1 and KS2 children. Take a look at this Parts of a Plant PowerPoint that is a great teaching resource to use in introductory lessons on this topic, or why not have a look at this multiple choice quiz on life cycles of plants? Stamen is also known as the third whorl of the flower and is the male reproductive part. It consists of a filament which is a thread-like structure with a circular structure anther on the top. Pollen is produced by the anther which contributes to the male reproductive process of the plant. All the stamens do not bear fertile anthers. The corolla attracts pollinators to the plant with its vivid coloring and interesting scents, except for in the case of flowers that are pollinated by the wind. Wind-pollinated flowers have not needed to evolve to attract birds or insects for the survival of the species and, therefore, their corollas are often plain or dull. Filament 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. 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 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. 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. Stamen : This is the male reproductive organ and is also known as Androecium. It consists of two parts namely: anther and filaments. 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 The carpel, which is also sometimes called the pistil, is the female reproductive organ of a flower. Each carpel is usually bowling pin-shaped, and features a sac at its base in the center of a flower, and this sac is the ovary that produces and contains developing seeds, or ovules. Moving upward, the ovary extends to support a style, that is a tube-like structure leading up to the stigma at the very top.A pedicel is the secondary stalk from which flowers grow off the main stem. Only plants that have inflorescence in the form of clusters or similar will have pedicels. Perianth Each part of a plant plays a vital role in helping plants meet these needs. The four main plant parts are the roots, stem, leaves and flowers. By using these Flower Parts Labelling Worksheets, your pupils will further develop their understanding of the different parts of flowering plants, and how they're involved in plant reproduction. Along with these worksheets, we have a fantastic variety of teacher-made resources to assist you during the lesson planning process: The calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium are four whorls of modified leaves that constitute the flower. The sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils, respectively, constitute one of the flower parts in each of these whorls. The filament is the thin tubular part of the stamen that extends and supports the pollen sac at the top. Ovary
