Flower Dissection Lab Activity

Every flower consists of a set of adaptations that help to ensure successful reproduction. For example, flowers often have bright colors, attractive shapes, and pleasing aromas. These traits help them attract insects and other animals that will carry pollen grains from flower to flower. Pollination also occurs by means other than animals carrying the pollen. For some flowering plants, the wind plays an important role in transferring pollen from plant to plant.
