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! Students were also asked to measure and record the differences between flowers. We spent time reviewing the chapter on Tuesday and Wednesday, and we took our first test on Thursday. On Friday, we began our microscope introduction. Students will have two days to practice using microscopes next week!
