Then God said, "Let the land produce
vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the
land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to
their various kinds." And it was so.

Section 2.2 Vocabulary
Oxygen: a colorless, odorless gas in the air that is
needed for most living things to stay alive
Carbon Dioxide: a colorless, odorless gas that
people and animals breathe out of their lung.
Plants use this to make food.

Pollination
Section 2.4 Vocabulary
Pollinator: the insect or animal that carries the
pollen to the pistil
Petals: the outside parts of a flower that
attract a pollinator to the flower
Stamen: the part of the flower that produces
pollen
Pollen: a fine powder in a flower that is needed
to make seeds
Pistil: the part in a flower where seeds are
formed
Pollination: the process by which pollen is
carried to the pistil of a flower
Parts of a Flower
Steps of Pollination Activity
Each group should have a baggie with strips of
paper for each group member.
Each group member should empty their pieces
on their desk and try to place the steps in
polination in order.
Once each group member is finished they
should check theirs with other group members.
If there are differences use your book to correct
the problem as a group.
Examining Pollen
Pg. 32
_____ The pollinator brushes against the
stamen and some pollen sticks to its
body.
_____ A seed develops.
_____ The pollinator flies to another flower and
brushes against the pistil, leaving pollen
on it.
_____ A new plant begins to grow.
_____ A pollinator flies to a flower to taste its
