10/11

This week, we did a flower "dissection" lab in order to more clearly view the reproductive parts of an angiosperm. Students had the chance to cut open the flower and identify the main portions of the stamen and the pistil. Many were surprised to find lots of eggs inside of the flower's ovary! We spent time reviewing the chapter on Wednesday and Thursday, and we took our first test on Friday. Next week, the students will learn how to use microscopes!
