Question

Children who can bring flowers may bring one or two flowers to class. Remember that you must collect only fallen flowers. Do not pluck any flowers. Make groups of three or four children and look at one flower carefully -

• What is the colour of the flower?
• What kind of a scent does it have?
• What does it look like – a bell, a bowl, a brush or anything else?
• Do these flowers grow in bunches?
• How many petals does it have?
• Are all the petals joined together or separate?
• Outside the petals, can you see any green leafy structure? How many are there?
• Inside the petals, in the middle of the flower, can you see some thin structures? Write its colour.
• When you touch these, do you find a powdery thing on your hands?
