Flowering and non-flowering plants 2

Wala: Flowering and non-flowering plants.

L.O: Learn about the stages in the life cycles of a flowering plant.

​Scientific terms.

• Give a set of flashcards for learners to use to match the new scientific terms with their meanings.

​Scientific terms.

• ​Function. Polen.

• ​Scent. Fillament.

• ​Fruit. Reproduce.

• ​Life cycle. Spores.

• ​Sepals.

• ​Petals.

• ​Stamen.

• ​Carpel.

• ​Ovary.

​Plant life cycle.

​To identify and order the stages in the life cycle of a flowering plant.

​Provide each pair of learners with a set of life cycle cards. Tell them to arrange the cards in the correct order to represent the life cycle of a flowering plant.

​

​

​Answers.

​

The order will be: seed - plant - flower - fruit -seeds.

​

​Ask learners to explain to another pair why they chose their order for the stages.

​

​Plant life cycles. ( Notes )

​When a plant produces flowers, the flowers usually last only a few days. Then they die and fall off the plant. However, part of the flower stays behind on the plant. This part becomes the fruit. The seeds form inside the fruit. The seeds grow into new plants. The new plants grow and produce flowers to form new fruits and seeds.

​

Some flowers help the plant reproduce to form new plants. All the changes in a flowering plant, from flowers to seeds growing into new plants, are called the plant’s life cycle. A cycle is something that happens over and over again.

​Plant life cycles. ( Notes )

​Not all plants have flowers. Plants without flowers are called non-flowering plants. Mosses, ferns and plants with cones are non-flowering plants.

Some non-flowering plants, such as ferns and mosses, do not form seeds. Instead they make tiny spores that can grow into new plants.

​

Other nonflowering plants, such as pine trees, do form seeds but their seeds form in a cone and not from a flower.
