ART MEETS SCIENCE: FLOWER DISSECTION/IMPERMANENT ART-GRADES 6-8 DECEMBER-FEBRUARY, APRIL-JUNE
Description
In this lesson, students will discuss the general life cycle pattern of most plants. Then, they will learn that flowers are where seeds develop in order to enable plants to reproduce. Further, they will tour the pollinator garden, and learn that pollination is key for this reproduction to happen. Finally, students will dissect flowers, identify their reproductive and structural components, and use their parts to create impermanent art inspired by Roku Inoue.
This field trip includes a tour of the farm as well as a hands on "Farming" experience such as pruning, harvesting, seed starting, potting, etc.
