Day 14, making a model of the Fast Plant flower.

January 18, 2016

Making a model is a way to deeper learning of a subject, because it provides fine motor skill interactive engagement during which each physical interaction is connected to a mental concept. This is a model of the Fast Plant flower, Brassica rapa. The model starts with the center tube called the stigma that contains the plants embryos. The yellow pipe cleaners are the plant filaments. The yellow cotton balls are the Anthers. The yellow leaves around the stigma and anthers are the pedals. While making the flower, it is noted that the four pedals are across for each other and that is why the plant was give the name Cruciferous for "cross-bearing". There are two shapes of leaves, the cotyledon leaves at the bottom followed by the true leaves with veins. These are the basic part of the flower. The bee collects pollen from the anther and carries it to the stigma of another plants. The pollen travels down the stigma and combines with the ovule to form a seed. Five and six year olds can make this model with help for an adult.
