Great way to teach your students about flowers!! You can use brown construction paper or yarn for the roots and beans for the seeds. Draw a line for the soil. Use a green strip of construction paper for the stem. The stem acts as straw and it sucks up the water from the roots to the flower. Glue down the leaves and flower. Use a cotton ball as pollen, and use perfume for the scent of the flower and then label each part of the flower and the function!! The kids will love it!!
