Parts of a Flower Poster & Coloring Activity

poflowerAlthough summer is quickly approaching and students are getting excited for the end of school we have been covering some spring themes like, flowers, insects, and gardening!

The key to some of our science lesson plans are for the students to be able to identify parts of a flower and to be knowledgeable of the life cycle of plants.

For our independent science study, we created this simple flower part packet which includes a colored poster and black & white coloring sheet. We wanted to stick to the basics and only included the four main parts of a flower: flower, stem, leaves, and roots.

Real-Life Connection Activity: We included real-life plant pictures in our science center. We took photos of flowers, printed them out and laminated them for longer durability. We put all the pictures in a basket with dry-erase markers. This allowed the students to explore the parts of a flower on their own. They were able to look at the colored poster and circle the different parts on each flower photo.
