Week of 10/4

This week, we did a flower dissection in order to view the reproductive parts of an angiosperm. Students were required 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 Wednesday and Thursday, and we took our first test on Friday.

Remember that leaf collections are due on TUESDAY! Roughly HALF of the 7th graders have already turned in their projects! I am quite impressed with those numbers!
