Tech – Observation and Insights

On Friday for Tech we learned about the different parts of flowers and how they work. We started off explaining what Observation and Insights mean, Observation means your looking around and listening, Insights means the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of someone or something. Did you know? There are estimated to be around 300,000 to 400,000 different species of flowering plants. Various species of flowers serve a variety of ecological, evolutionary, and cultural functions. One thing I learnt about flowers was: Pollination: Flowers attract pollinators (like bees, butterflies, and birds) with their colours, scents, and nectar, aiding in the transfer of pollen from stamens to pistils. Fertilization: After pollination, flowers facilitate the fertilization process by allowing pollen to reach the ovules in the ovary and form seeds. Seed and Fruit Production: Once fertilization occurs, the ovary develops into a fruit that houses the seeds, ensuring the dispersal and propagation of the plant.

I found this task interesting because I got to oberserve what Pollination, Fertilzation and seed and fruit production do to the flowers.
