Flower Lab

Using the overhead to guide students through the parts of the flower, allowing them to color each part as you introduce it to them, keeps them engaged in the lesson and is enjoyable for them. Also as you talk about each part have them write down the purpose of each part. After completing the parts of a flower worksheet, allow the students to actually dissect a real flower. Dissecting a flower allows students to actually see the parts of the flower that were discussed, also it is interesting to see the parts in real life. As I participated in this activity I found it to be externally informative and at the same time fun. This is a great activity for kids, that is much more exciting than just filling out a worksheet.
