Flowers and Trees - Presentation

In an engaging presentation about flowers and trees, students are invited to explore the fascinating world of plants and their biology. The session begins with thought-provoking questions aimed at stimulating curiosity, such as whether students can identify parts of plants, differentiate leaves by shape, and recognize that a tree is indeed a type of plant. The presentation is structured to answer these queries through a series of hands-on activities and discussions, helping students to grasp the significance and characteristics of plant life.

One segment of the presentation, 'Why Do We Need Trees?', prompts students to consider the vital role trees play in our ecosystem. The interactive methods include an experiment demonstrating how plants 'breathe' by producing gas bubbles under sunlight, which is observed by submerging leaves in water. Another activity involves collecting various tree leaves, examining their unique shapes, and creating a tree art project, reinforcing the concept that each species of tree has distinctive leaves. Furthermore, students investigate the relationship between seed size and plant size, discovering that the size of a seed does not necessarily correspond to the size of the mature plant. The session concludes with an exploration of flowers, where students learn about the parts of a flower and their role in reproduction through pollination. By the end of the presentation, students are encouraged to reflect on what they've learned about the anatomy of plants, the diversity of leaves, and the importance of trees and flowers in the plant kingdom.
