Parts of a Flower

Let's learn more about the parts of a flower that are involved in reproduction!

During this lesson, we will:

• Watch a video to review the parts of a flower.

• Look at some specific examples and real life pictures of flowers.

• Check for our understanding by playing a quiz game.

Example 1

This image is an illustration that shows all of the parts of the flower. Look closely. Can you explain the function of each part?

Here is a LILY. What parts of a flower can you SEE?
