Happy Halloween!

On Halloween the CATEC Hort students had a lesson on flower parts and fruit parts. To accompany this lesson the students disected a "Stargazer Lily".

After our dissection of the lily we had a pumpkin carving contest! During the contest Students had to find and display the four parts of fruit as found in the pumpkin.







Unfortunately our camera batteries died before I could get a picture of our winning pumpkin, carved by our 10th grade exploratory students, Tank and Brandon, so I've included some other photos that I did get.


STUDENTS - 1. What are the four main parts of the flower and what do they do? 2. What would be another profession that may need to know the parts of fruit? 3. Tell me what your favorite berry, and hesperidium are?

parts of a flower are, the carpel which is the female part and uses pollen for reproduction, the stamen is the male part and it contains pollen for reproduction, the petal and it attracts pollinators, the sepal which protects the developing bud. A profession that might need to know the parts of fruits would be a fruit farmer. My favorite berry would have to be grapes, and my favorite hesperidiums is oranges.

Stamen, this part of the flower fertilizes the pistil the female part of the flower, which makes the seed. Petals, are the part of the flower that attract pollinators. Sepals are the part of the flower that protect the developing bud.
Chefs and food processors they both need to know parts of fruit.
my favorite berry is a banana, and my favorite hesperidium is a lemon.
