 * 1) A flower’s structure is related to its function.
 * 2) Pollination is a step that precedes fertilization.
 * 3) Seed production and dispersal are key to a plant’s survival. ||
 * You will be able to…. # Dissect a flower to discover the structures and functions of its reproductive system.
 * 1) Explain the function of flowers and pollination
 * 2) Describe the production of seeds as a means of sexual reproduction.
 * 3) Explain seed dispersal mechanisms as they contribute to a plant’s survival.

LESSON #1

LESSON #2  EQ: How can we explain the process of pollination and how does it differ from fertilization? Pollination & Fertilization * You will be able to explain the sequence of plant reproduction from pollination, to fertilization, to fruit formation. Here is a great video showing the steps of Pollination and Fertilization. Remember, __**POLLINATION**__ is the transfer of pollen from the **STAMEN** to the **STIGMA**. __**FERTILIZATION**__ is the joining of the male sex cell (**SPERM**) with the female sex cell (**EGG**). When this process is complete, seeds and fruits develop. POLLINATION & FERTILIZATION SEQUENCE VIDEO. (Good video for completing your storyboard) Another...POLLINATION & FERTILIZATION SEQUENCE VIDEO. (Good video for completing your storyboard) Use the Sequence Chart below to show the sequence of steps in Pollination. Use the Sequence Chart below to show the sequence of steps in Fertilization.

 * 4) Pollination
 * 5) More on pollination
 * 6) Interactive Flower Parts and Flower Reproduction Scroll down to the block on "Life Cycles" and click on it. There are a few flower activities to do.
 * 7) Flowers - BN

LESSON #3
== EQ: How and why are seeds dispersed? == Seed Dispersal PLEASE READ: "Seeds on the Move" - Pages 46-50 from your FOSS Textbook.
 * You will see a variety of seed dispersal methods.
 * You will understand why plants must disburse seeds.
 * Seed Dispersal Video #1
 * Seed Dispersal Video#2
 * Seed dispersal poster
 * Another Seed Dispersal Poster
 * FOSS Seed Collections

Seed dispersal is critical so that baby plants don't have to compete for resources with their parent plants.
