The boys are doing their Apologia Botany over the spring/summer since that is when we plant and harvest our garden. Recently they dissected flowers. Here are some pictures:
They felt so badly wrecking this beautiful bouquet!
First they removed the sepals and petals.
Then they took off the carpel and the stamens. We found the male and female parts on the flower. It was amazing to see the tiny seeds.
Above is a chart they made. They took the dissected parts, covered them with packaging tape and 'voila!'
The boys also got a Venus Fly Trap. It is sitting in our living room right now, and it is amazing to feed it and watch the traps close on the flies.
