Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What do the parts of the flower do?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. insect pollination: - Insects attracted to petals and nectar. - Insect enters flower and pollen is transferred from Anther to Insect. - Insect is attracted to another flower. - Pollen from Insect is transferred to Stigma. - Pollen cell grows a pollen tube down the Style to the Ovary.
  2. Fertilisation occurs when the Pollen nucleus fuses with the Ovule. The fertilised Ovule forms the seed. The Ovary forms the Fruit.
  3. The function of Pollen cells are to transfer genetic material (DNA) from one plant to another.
  4. Pollen cells are adapted to their function by: - being small (microscopic) - having a tough outer coating - can have spikes or hooks
  5. Pollen being small allows it to be transported easily by insects (and wind next lesson) Pollen having a tough outer coating allows the cell to survive in the environment away from the plant. Pollen have spikes or hooks makes it more likely to stick to insects.

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. How can an insect pollinator transfer pollen from one flower to another?
    insect pollination: - Insects attracted to petals and nectar. - Insect enters flower and pollen is transferred from Anther to Insect. - Insect is attracted to another flower. - Pollen from Insect is transferred to Stigma. - Pollen cell grows a pollen tube down the Style to the Ovary.
  2. What happens to cause fertilisation in a flower?
    Fertilisation occurs when the Pollen nucleus fuses with the Ovule. The fertilised Ovule forms the seed. The Ovary forms the Fruit.
  3. What is the role of a pollen cell?
    The function of Pollen cells are to transfer genetic material (DNA) from one plant to another.
  4. How are pollen cells adapted - Give at least 2 ways.
    Pollen cells are adapted to their function by: - being small (microscopic) - having a tough outer coating - can have spikes or hooks
  5. Why does pollen have a tough outer coating? Why do some pollens have spikes or hooks on them?
    Pollen being small allows it to be transported easily by insects (and wind next lesson) Pollen having a tough outer coating allows the cell to survive in the environment away from the plant. Pollen have spikes or hooks makes it more likely to stick to insects.

Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
