Parts of a Flower Dissection Lab for Middle School Science

by

flower dissection lab

This unit will help you teach your science class about the parts of a flower and their structure and function.

Students will learn by dissecting a flower! The focus of the lab is on the structure and function of the parts of a plant.

I used this for my after-school science club. I have a multi-age group. This was a great lab and had really clear directions that were easy to follow. My students were engaged. The slide show was helpful to show them what to look for. Lots of helpful hints for finding the right flowers. Students were definitely engaged and it worked well for multiple ages.

I grabbed some day lilies from my neighbors garden and we did this easy lab. Students loved it and the slide show was helpful.

My students loved this unit. I was able to present different elements of it throughout the month. It is hard to find interesting non-fictional, age-appropriate text for my students that they will enjoy. This was a great unit that aligned well for my students who have very different goals within the same group.

I am so impressed with this unit which manages to be distance learning and hands-on at the same time.  Really well thought out and engaging activities that allow students to practice each of the eight Science and Engineering Practices.  Really no prep for me!

The elephant article was excellent but I also thought the lab on dissecting a flower was broken down so easily, even telling me where to get inexpensive flowers!  This resource helped me teach this challenging standard in an engaging way.  Worth every penny!
