Dissecting Flowers

Today we brought in signs of spring from home.  
We identified the parts of plants and how they grow from seed to mature adult.


As part of our science/math lesson, we dissected some of the flowers.
The goal was to sort the parts of the flowers.


First we isolated the stem.

Then we removed the leaves.


Finally, it was time to take the flower apart.


The boys and girls were so fascinated by this process.

They used real tools to further investigate our specimens.  

They worked with partners and took turns using the equipment.

We were able to the pollen in some off the flowers.

What a great day at preschool!
