Thursday - open book test Tuesday

We covered plant reproduction today, both with flowers and mosses. The students drew both the moss and the flower reproduction so they would have it in their notes for the test. Then the students drew the three examples of a monocot and the three examples of a dicot. They drew the vascular structure of the plant, the xylem and phloem, and they wrote down the seven classifications of the kingdoms. Next we watched a couple of short clips showing bees pollinating flowers. The students enjoyed the part of the bee cleaning the pollen off of his body and pushing it down to his legs while he held onto the flower with just one arm. It was fun to watch.
