This 4th grade worksheet pairs flower parts with what they do. A labeled flower diagram numbers eight parts, from petal and sepal to style and ovule, and a list of eight jobs lettered A to H sits beside it. Students write the matching letter in a table. Page 2 has three questions, including why many petals are brightly colored and what would happen if the stigma were not sticky. The key gives the letter for each part.
“Match each flower part to its job in making seeds and fruit.”
The table on page 1 has eight parts and eight jobs.
“Explain how bright petals help a flower reproduce.”
Question 1 on page 2.
“Describe what the sticky top of the stigma does in pollination.”
Question 3 asks what would happen if the stigma were not sticky.
A numbered diagram, eight jobs lettered A to H such as makes pollen and sticky top that catches pollen, and an eight-row table where students write the letter for each part.
Three questions with answer lines, beside a photo of a bee on a pink flower: why petals are brightly colored, which part becomes the fruit, and what would happen if the stigma were not sticky.
The letter for each part (petal E, sepal C, anther F, filament A, stigma B, style H, ovary G, ovule D) and a sample answer to each question.
Read the jobs aloud
Read the eight jobs together before students match. The style (a tube to the ovary) and the ovary (holds the ovules) are easy to swap, so point to both on the diagram.
Quick marking
The answers are single letters, so you can mark the table in about a minute with the key on screen.
Question 3 follow-up
Question 3 pushes students to say what the stigma catches. Read a few answers and ask where the pollen came from.
