Male and Female Flower Parts

About this worksheet

A line drawing of a flower with six numbered parts opens this 4th grade parts of a flower sheet. Students write anther, filament, stigma, style, ovary or petal beside each number from a word bank, then color the stamen parts blue and the pistil parts pink. Page 2 sorts the same six words into STAMEN (MALE) and PISTIL (FEMALE) columns, finds the one that is neither, and asks which part makes pollen, which part becomes seeds and where pollen has to land. Page 3 is the answer key.

Curriculum objectives covered

4-LS1-1

“Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.”

Page 1 names six external structures of a flower, and the Quick Check on page 2 asks what the anther, the ovary and the stigma do for reproduction.

“Tell the male parts of a flower from the female parts.”

The color task on page 1 and the sort on page 2 both split the parts into stamen (anther, filament) and pistil (stigma, style, ovary).

What's inside this worksheet

Label and Color the Flower

A word bank of six parts and a flower drawn in outline, with a numbered line to each part. Students fill six boxes and color the anther and filament blue and the stigma, style and ovary pink.

Sort the Flower Parts

A two-column chart for stamen (male) and pistil (female), and one question on which word in the bank belongs in neither column.

Flower Jobs Quick Check

Three questions in boxes: which part makes pollen, which part becomes seeds and fruit after pollination, and where pollen needs to land.

Answer key

The six labels with their colors, the sorted chart, and short answers for the three questions.

How teachers use it

Pair it with a real flower

Hand out a lily or a tulip and have students find the stamens and the pistil before they label the drawing. A real flower makes the numbered lines easier to follow.

Color check

Walk the room after the coloring step. Blue on the ovary or pink on the anther shows at a glance who has swapped the two groups.

Follow the pollen

After question 5, have students trace the path of a grain of pollen with a finger, from anther to stigma, and say aloud what happens next in the ovary.
