Flower Dissection

This year, students in year 8 have been studying the powerful idea of Ecosystems. It is with great excitement that we share with you the recent exploration undertaken by our year 8 scientists in the fascinating realm of flower dissection.

Year 8 have been delving into the intricate structures of flowers, unravelling the mysteries hidden within their delicate petals and vibrant colours. Armed with magnifying glasses and tweezers, students meticulously observed and documented the various parts of the flower, from the petals to the stamens, anthers and everything in between. With each dissected blossom, they gained a deeper understanding of plant anatomy, the crucial role that flowers play in the reproduction of flowering plants and the vital processes of pollination and fertilisation.

Here are some of the pieces of work produced by 8ab/Sc4.
