Science Task

Click HERE for a printable version of this task

In our last Science lesson we explored more features of plants and started to look into the water transportation process. Some of you had a go at the plant experiment to see if the leaves turned colour through the transportation of water.

Click here to have a look at some of your pictures you sent in!

Today we are going to learn about the life cycle of a plant.

1. First watch THIS video to help you understand what we mean by life cycle.

2. Now read more about the life cycle of a plant HERE. Take your time when reading each stage, try to remember some of the key scientific words used.

3. Once you have read about the plant cycle, see if you can answer the questions below. Refer back to the text if you are unsure.

A) How many stages are there?
B) What is germination?
C) What happens during the growing and flowering part?
D) What is pollination?
E) When does fertilisation happen and when does a seed form?
F) What happens during the seed dispersal?

4. Complete the worksheet of a plants life cycle HERE. There are three to choose from, so select the worksheet you are most comfortable with completing. Remember to use the text to help you.

Take a photo of your finished work and I can add it to the blog.  

Watch the video below to summarise your learning:

    Hello Miss I have done my science, I did the acting with my parents (because my two brothers were at school). We enjoyed it. I will send the pictures of my work. My little brother wanted to plant some lentils to see them growing. They have germinated and I will send a picture too.

    Task 1
    1. There are 6 stages.
    2. Germination is when the plant starts growing by water or the sun
    3. Once the seed has germinated the plant grows bigger and forms flowers.
    4. Flowers are pollinated when pollen from the stamen moves onto the pistil.
    5. Fertilisation happens when the pollen travels from the stigma down the style of the ovary.
    6. The plant needs to disperse them.

  3. Miss Jones says:

    Great effort Angie, I can see you have used the poster above to help you. Remember to have a look at the life cycle information sheet to read more.

    Hello Miss Jones.
    A. There are 6 steps.
    B. The germination is the process of a plant growing from the seed.
    C . The plant collects water and uses energy to grow, to become bigger and to have flower.
    D. Pollination is when pollen from the stamen moves into the pistil.
    E. When a pollen grain lands on the stigma of a flower of the correct species, a pollen tube begins to grow. It grows through the style until it reaches an ovule inside the ovary. The nucleus of the pollen then passes along the pollen tube and fuses (joins) with the nucleus of the ovule.
    F. The seeds get spread over a wide area.

  5. Miss Jones says:

    Good effort Matthias! You have used lots of scientific words to explain your answers.

  6. Good morning Miss.
    I’v done my science homework.

  7. Miss Jones says:

    Well done Emily.

  8. grace Anne says:

    1. there 7 stages
    2. germination is a seed
    3. the flower eats and drinks
    4.pollination it’s when the flower grows
    5. seeds form in 7 days
    6. it grows even more

  9. Miss Jones says:

    Good effort Graceanne, check number 1 to see how many stages there are. Look at the information sheet above, it shows each step carefully.

    QA.
    There are 5 stages: germination, growing and flowering, pollination, fertilisation and seed formation and lastly seed dispersal.
    QB.
    Germination is when something or someone plants the seed. The seed needs water to germinate (our avocado pip germinated without soil. Just water and a bot of sun).
    QC.
    When a flower grows, root grow downwards from the seed or bulb looking for water. The stem grows upwards towards the sunlight so it can grow and make food by photosynthesis. the flowering plants also make flowers with pollen.
    QD.
    Pollination is when pollen is moved by mostly insects like bees and butterflies to the stigma .
    QE.
    Fertilisation happens when the pollen moves down to where the ovule is and forms a seed.
    QF.
    seeds are dispersed by birds eating the seeds and dropping them, wind blowing them or the plants being shaken.

  11. Miss Jones says:

    Great effort Sebastian, you have included some important scientific words, well done for using the information to help you.

  12. gabriella says:

    1.There are five stages germination growing and flowering seed formation and seed dispersal.
    2. germination is when plants need water to grow.
    3 the seed dispersal.
    4.During plant reproduction grains need more from the amther of one flower to the stigma of another flower. this is called pollination.
    5.grains land on the stigma, a pollen tube grows from the pollen grain, through the style, and into the ovary undeveloped plant called an embryo. The ovary surrounding the ovules develops into a fruit that contains one or more seeds.
    6.Seed dispersal. Plant seeds can be dispersed in a number of different ways. Some seeds are transported by wind, and have seeds designed to float, glide or spin through the air. … Alternatively, the plants might make tasty fruit to enclose the seeds, which attract animals to eat them.

    .

  13. Miss Jones says:

    Great answers Gabriella, it is an interesting process isn’t it?!

  14. Science
    ————-
    1. There are 5 stages germination growing and flowering pollination fertilisation and seed formation and seed dispersal.
    2. Germination is when a seed begins to grow.
    3. What happens is the seed begins to grow bigger and forms the flower.
    4. Pollination is when the anther is transferred to the stigma by mostly insects.
    5. Fertilisation happens when the pollen travels from the stigma to the bottom of the plant and forms a fresh new seed.
    6. The seed dispersal is when the plant that created a new seed has to get the newly formed seed to transport to a different place so they don’t grow in the same area.

  15. Miss Jones says:

    Great answers Chloe K, I can see you have read all of the information about the plant cycle carefully. 🙂

  16. a) There are 6 steps.
    b) When a seed begins to grow.
    c) The plant grows bigger and then forms flower.
    d) Pollination is the transfer of pollen from a male part of a plant to a female part of a plant.
    e) When the pollen start to join with the ovule then seed start to form.
    f) Seed dispersal is the transport of seeds away from the parent plant.

  17. Task 1
    a) There are 5 stages.

  18. Miss Jones says:

    Yes well done Chloe H, I can see you have used the information sheet to help you.

  19. Penelope says:

    A. there are 5 stages : germination, growing and flowering, pollination, fertilisation and seed formation , seed dispersal
    B. Germination is when the seeds start to grow
    C. During the growing and flowering part, the plant gets bigger and forms a flower
    D.Pollination is when pollen from the anther lands on the stigma and travels down the style
    E. Fertilisation happens when the pollen joins with an ovule and then a seed starts to form
    F. During the seed dispersal , the fully formed seeds are moved away from the parent plant

    I will upload my life cycle now

  20. Miss Jones says:

    Excellent effort Penelope! It is a lot of information to learn about the plant life cycle isn’t it!

  28. Karolina says:

    Science

    A)There are 5 different stages.
    B)Germination is when a seed beaging to grow.
    C)What happens is that when the seed growes it starts to form a beautifuly flower.
    D)Pollination is when the pollen is transferred to the stigma by mostly.
    E)Fertilisation happens when the pollen travels from stigma to the bottom of the plant and form a fresh seed.
    F)The seed dispersal is when the plant that created a new seed.

  29. Miss Jones says:

    Well done Karolina 🙂

  30. Science Task 1
    A/ There are 6 stages.
    B/Germination is when the plant starts growing by water and sun.
    C/many plants produce flowers that are important in making seeds.
    D/pollination is when flowers are pollinated when pollen from the stamen moves onto the pistil. Seeds and fruit are produced.
    E/when a pollen grain lands on the stigma of a flower of the correct species,a pollen tube begins to grow. It grows through the style until it reaches an ovule inside the ovary.
    F/The needs to disperse them.

    I will upload the life cycle.

  31. Miss Jones says:

    Well done Jiana 🙂
