Dissect a Flower

Learn about the role of different flower parts and how pollinators assist with plant reproduction.

Flowers are beautiful, but plants don’t make flowers for our enjoyment. Plants are living things and their flowers serve an important function in the life cycle of the plant: to reproduce by making fruits and seeds.

In this activity you will explore the parts of a flower by doing a dissection or taking the flower apart. You will figure out how the parts of the flower are involved in plant reproduction and how pollinators help increase pollination.

This activity is part of our 4-H at Home Native Bees Series. See the rest of the activities here.
