Activities

1	Flower Structure	9.4.S2: Drawing half-views of animal-pollinated flowers. Draw and label an animal pollinated flower, including: Nectar-secreting glands Petals Sepals Anthers Filaments Carpel Stigma Style Ovary Ovule State the function of the different parts of the animal-pollinated flower.	Flower structure notes Flower structure handwritten notes Flower structure CFU Flower dissection Flower dissection form Flower structure diagram quiz The Global Flora TED-ed: the beautiful tricks of flowers A&B: how flowering plants changed the world A&B: making scents of flowers A&B: Can scientists solve Darwin's ‘abominable mystery' about the angiosperm explosion?
2	Flowering	9.4.U1: Flowering involves a change in gene expression in the shoot apex. Compare the vegetative and reproductive phases of the angiospermatophyta life cycle. State that flowers are produced from a shoot apical meristem. State two abiotic factors that may trigger flowering. Compare the timing of flowering in short-day plants and long-day plants. Outline the process by which changes in gene expression trigger flowering. 9.4.U2: The switch to flowering is a response to the length of light and dark periods in many plants. State the role of the pigment phytochrome. Describe the conversions between the two forms of phytochrome. Describe the role of phytochrome in controlling flowering in long and short day plants. 9.4.A1: Methods used to induce short-day plants to flower out of season. State how plants can be manipulated to force flowering out of season.	Control of flowering notes Effect of interrupted nights video Control of flowering CFU Flower cards (draw a card and explain when it flowers) ScitC: Flowering Modeling photoperiods Modeling photoperiod data
3	Pollination and Fertilization	9.4.U3: Success in plant reproduction depends on pollination, fertilization and seed dispersal. Define pollination, fertilization and seed dispersal. State the changes to the ovule and ovary that result from fertilization. List mechanisms of seed dispersal.	Pollination and seed dispersal handwritten Pollination and fertilization slides Video: double fertilization Pollination and fertilization CFU Examine local pollen under a microscope (maybe a “find the matching pollen” challenge) Video: hidden beauty of pollination Fast plant pollination Observing pollen tube growth lab (limited success) Pollination role play Anne Gaskett: The sexual deception of orchids \| TED Talk A&B: flirty plants
4	Fruits	9.4.S1: Drawing internal structure of seeds Draw and label the structure of seeds, including: Embryo root Embryo shoot Cotyledons Testa Micropyle Hilum State the function of the different parts of the seed.	Seed structure notes Seed CFU Seed dissection Virtual seed dissection Create seed balls A&B: Who Moved My Seed? A&B: Loss of seed-hauling animals spells trouble for plants in warming world
5	Seeds	9.4.S1: Drawing internal structure of seeds Draw and label the structure of seeds, including: Embryo root Embryo shoot Cotyledons Testa Micropyle Hilum State the function of the different parts of the seed.	Seed structure notes Seed CFU Seed dissection Virtual seed dissection Create seed balls A&B: Who Moved My Seed? A&B: Loss of seed-hauling animals spells trouble for plants in warming world
6	Germination	9.4.S3: Design of experiments to test hypotheses about factors affecting germination. Define germination. Outline why water, oxygen and warmth are required for germination. Outline the role of gibberellin during germination. Write five example problem questions for experiments that could test factors affecting germination.	Needs of Seeds prompt Germination notes Germination CFU Fast Plant directions Beany baby book Beany baby initial set up (this is a “crib” and then the plants move into a pot) Inquiry lab teacher comments Inquiry lab planning sheet A&B: Climate change threat to tropical plants An internal thermometer tells the seeds when to germinate -- ScienceDaily Course Source GA-mutation experiment Lesson Student directions handout Part 1 slides GA synthesis pathway Data collection slides Data collection summary sheet Example results Student questions handout (key)
