Lesson video

Hi everybody.

And welcome back to your science lesson with me Miss Roberts.

I'm so excited to be back with you this week for our third lesson on plants.

Let's find out what we need today.

You're going to need a pencil or a pen, a ruler and then a notebook or a piece of paper to write on.

You can also get some colouring pencils.

And if you want to, you can go and get your favourite teddy.

I got Lenny the lion here, who helps me with.

Pardon.

Yeah, oh, you didn't.

Oh no, no, not yet.

Not yet.

Lenny wants to tell you what we're learning about today, but we need to do our star words first, before we do the main part of our learning.

So pause the video and get your resources ready now and we'll get started.

Before we do our star words, though.

If you were here last week, we need to do our marking of our learning review.

If you weren't here last week, that's okay.

But I would skip the video forward and go straight to your star words so that you don't listen to the questions that you didn't answer.

So question one said, what are the five main parts of the plant? They are seeds, flowers, stem, leaves and roots.

If you got one wrong, that's okay.

But I would write on the correct answer now.

The question two said, which was the odd one out and I'm sure you all realise the plants don't need cups of tea.

So give that's a tick, if you've got it right or make sure you've edited your answer now.

Number three said, do you need blank variables? You need control variables.

Give that a tick or give it a fix.

And so you've got the right answers then.

We've done a retrieval quiz now.

And we're about to learn about the parts of a flower.

But first, let's do our star words, so that we know some of the vocabulary that's coming up.

I'm going to be doing the actions really clearly, so that I make sure the words are sticky in my mind.

The first word on the left is function.

My turn your turn.

Function Function Well done.

The function is the role.

The function is the role.

Well done.

The next word is filament.

The next word is? Well done.

Let's do the action for that one.

Filament, your turn.

Good job.

The next word is ovary.

Your turn.

Ovary.

Your turn.

I remember ovary by drawing an oval.

Can you say ovary and draw an oval.

One, two, three.

Well done.

The next word is stigma.

Stigma.

Now for that one, I'm doing little crab pants.

They're not crabs.

And they are not sock puppets either.

I'm pretending or imagining that I have sticky fingers.

I'm imagining that I have? Well done.

So can you now say stigma with sticky fingers.

Stigma, your turn.

Stigma, your turn.

Well done.

Then next word is petal.

Your turn.

Petal, your turn.

Well done.

Then next word is style.

Your turn Style, your turn.

Now not style like fashion, like clothes, not like me and my stylish clothes.

But you'll find out what style means, when it's to do with science and plants later in the lesson.

The next word is anther.

Can you say anther? Not anter, anther with a th sound.

Anther your turn.

Well done.

And the action for an anther is this.

When a bit like you're growing some antlers a bit like you're growing some antlers.

'Cause so, can you say anther? Your turn, well done.

The next word is ovule.

Your turn.

And you can see I'm using two hands, two fingers there to draw some small oval shapes.

Can you do the same, ovule.

Your turn.

Well done.

And the last word on the bottom left is sepal.

Your turn.

Sepal.

Your turn.

Well done.

I've got my elbows in and my fingers out and you'll see why that is later.

Because it looks a little bit like a sepal.

So sepal.

Your turn.

Well done.

Give yourself a pat in the back for those star words.

I was really impressed by how loudly you were saying those.

So well done.

So today we're going to be learning about the parts of a flower.

On the screen is a flower.

I want you to tell me three things that you can see on the flower.

For instance, I can see some white petals.

What else can you see? Tell me three things now.

Hmm, what else? And what colour kind of is that? Well done.

Everyone's had a really good go at saying what they can see in the flower.

I could also see some brown things on the end of some green, almost like a stalk.

I could see some leaves and I could see the stem as well in the plant behind it.

So let's get started and have a look at my flower.

Oh, now it's definitely not as good as that photo, but I've done a drawing of a flower.

You can see the petals are in purple.

We're going to talk through the parts of a flower.

And I want you to pause the video now.

And your first task of today is to write the date and then draw yourself a flower that looks just like mine.

You could do different colours if you want to for the petals.

So pause the video and draw, I'm going to make it bigger actually so that you can see it.

So pause the video and draw your flower just like mine now.

Well done.

Okay, so now what we're going to do is we're going to label the parts of the flower.

So you've got your flower drawn now.

I have labelled my two purple petals here and I've said, petals.

Those are my annotations.

Can you now pause the video and draw a line from your petal and write the word petals next to your petals.

Pause the video and do that now.

Well done.

The next one I'd like to label is the sepal.

Do you remember the action we have for sepal.

Tuck your arms in, stick your fingers out and say the word sepal, your turn.

Now sepal is the part of the plants down here that protect the flower.

So before the petals grow big and strong the sepals actually cover it and protect it.

So I keep dropping my pen.

So the sepals are at the bottom here.

Draw your line out and write the word sepal, off you go.

Well done.

Now, let's see what else I can drop.

The next thing we're going to annotate is we're going to put a box around a part of your plant.

I'm going to use a pencil for my lines and then I'm going to show you what time you need to have a watch.

I get to put a box around, the part of the plant here with this yellow oval at the top.

And then it comes down.

What I'm drawing around is this bit.

I'm going to use my pen to make it really clear.

Okay.

Now there's one there and there's also one over this side.

I've used my pen to make it really clear.

If you want to do the same, you can pause the video and do that now.

I'm going to annotate this and this part of the plant is the part at the background is the male part.

So I'm just going to draw a line and write male part.

Can you pause the video, put a box around the male part now.

Off you go.

Now I've labelled the male part.

I wonder if anyone thinks they know what I might be about to do now? Well done, I'm going to put a box around the female part.

And that's this blue section in the middle.

I've drawn it blue so it's really clear, but in real life it'll probably be more like a green, but it'll depend on the plant too.

So that's why I'm going to put a box around it.

I'm going to put a box around here.

And this main section in the middle, I'm going to draw a line out with my ruler.

Always use a ruler, remember? So I'm going to touch it to that box really clearly.

So here's the box, line out and that is the female part.

So I'm going to write female part.

Can you draw your box and write your label now.

Well done everyone.

So now we've got a flower that's labelled into petals, sepals and then you've got your male part and your female part.

These male and female parts are what we're going to look at in today's lesson.

If you need more time, you can pause the video now and draw your annotations.

So now what I've done on the next page in my book is I've drawn the male and female parts separately.

Just like they were in the drawing before, but without the rest of the flower in the way so we can see it really clearly.

On my male part I've got a long stalk up and I've got a little yellow part at the top.

And my female part, I have got a nice rounded shape at the bottom and it goes up to the top and then it comes down and the it got little small circles inside there as well.

So if you can't see actually let me do this to help you.

One, two, three.

I'd like you to pause the video now and draw your male and your female part with your labels at the top as well.

Off you go.

Well done.

The first part we're going to label is we're going to label the male part of the flower.

Now the male part of the flower is on the left hand side here.

And you can see that the long thin section, goes up to the tall sort of, how would you describe that sort of oval shape to the top? Now the stalk here, it's not called a stalk on a male part of the flower is called the filament.

It's called the filament.

Please label your filament now.

And up here, it's really an oval shape.

There's two, they're little bit.

Do you know, I'm struggling team 'cause I really want to call them hot dogs.

They do look a little bit like hotdogs next to each other, don't they? If I'm honest, like hot dog bun, But I'll give you a better way to remember it later, rather than hot dogs.

But that is called the anther.

That is called the? So pause the video and label your anther now.

Well done.

Okay and now the female part on this side.

We're going to label the female part.

Do you remember my sticky fingers at the start of the lesson in my star words? Well, that relates to this top of the female part, which is sticky.

And the sticky is a bit like the word stigma.

Well done for remembering that one team, I heard some of you say that one.

That's the stigma at the top.

Please can you pause the video and label your stigma now.

Then down the stigma past towards, this round section at the bottom.

This thin bit in the middle is called the style.

It's called the style, well done.

Now you remember me doing a funny little action for the word style because it's holding that stigma.

So when I did my hand gesture for style, I was imagining that I was holding up the stigma.

Please pause the video and label your style now.

Well done.

You're labelling this really nice and neatly.

Now at the bottom here, you've got on the outside, you've got a bit like a wall around the outer edge.

I put my pen around that you can see.

So this is a bit like a wall, isn't it? In fact I could draw it all the way up to the stigma, but down here it's a wall around the ovaries.

So I called that the ovary wall.

Pause the video and label your ovary wall now.

Well done.

And inside the ovaries are the ovules.

Oops.

Do you remember your star word, ovules.

That's what I use my two little fingers for.

Because they're very small and they tend to have two sides.

So containing ovules, I'm going to try and do that really neatly with my best handwriting, ovules.

Please pause the video and label your ovules now.

Well done everyone.

You've labelled those really, really clearly.

So let's go back to the next screen, which is going to show me, here we go.

So there's me.

And you've got the parts of the male and female.

So that was my original drawing actually, but you've labelled yours now as well.

So let's have a look.

We've now figured out and labelled the parts of the flower, but what was the point of knowing the names of the parts? If we don't know what they do.

So let's find out.

We're going to do our reading now.

All about the female flowering parts.

This is a diagram of the female parts of the flower.

You can see the stigma, the style, the ovules and the ovary wall like you've just now got in your drawing.

Now let's read about them.

Please read with me out loud to your screen or to your favourite teddy, are you ready? One, two, three.

At the top of the female part, we find the stigma.

Oh, I've heard a star word.

So I put my hands on my head.

The stigma, which is the sticky part of the flower.

Well done everyone.

The stigma collects pollen.

When pollen sticks to the stigma, it travels down the style.

Well done for remembering your actions.

So you know the pollen is something that bees carry and it can also give people hay fever and it's made in the flower.

We'll find out more about pollen in a moment.

But pollen sticks to the sticky part of the stigma and then travels down the style.

Let's keep reading.

One, two, three.

As it travels down, the pollen will reach the ovules, which are the part of the plant that will turn into seeds.

Ovules are held inside the female ovary.

Well done team.

There are lots of new words today.

So if you need to, you can pause the video and read it out loud again to yourself so that it really sticks in your mind.

So, far we've read that pollen sticks to the stigma and then it travels down the style, where it reaches eventually the ovules and when it meets the ovules it turns into seeds.

Can you point to ovules on your drawing? I'm going to point to mine over here.

Well done.

So you can see those little ovules are the female part.

And when pollen meets them, they make a seed.

Let's carry on reading.

One, two, three.

When the pollen touches an ovule, it creates a seed.

If the seed then falls onto the soil with the correct nutrients, oh nutrients well done.

Some of you remember that nutrients was one of our stars of the day last week.

Well done everyone.

It will grow into another plant.

So let's just recap from the beginning.

Pollen sticks to the stigma.

Can you say that pollen sticks to the? And it travels down the? Until it reaches an ovule.

If pollen meets an ovule, it creates a seed.

Well done, can you give me a yes on three, one, two, three Yes.

Oh, I feel really clear now about what happens in the female part of a flower.

If you're still not sure, please put the video back to the start of that reading and read it again and see if you can do those actions to really make it stick in your mind.

So here are my sticky ways to remember the parts of the female plant.

Now that we know the part and the function.

The stigma, how am I going to remember that that's what it's called, that's a funny word, isn't it? The sticky stigma.

Can you say sticky stigma.

Your turn.

Can you make them even more sticky? Sticky stigma, your turn.

Well done everyone.

Wow your stigmas like very sticky.

The next word is the style.

Now the style, what travels down the style? Can you tell me.

Well done, pollen travels down the style.

Now I had style as my action, because when you're very stylish a bit like me not really.

When you're stylish, sometimes you might do an action like this and I'm imagining my hand is my sticky stigma.

So I put my hand up and I've got style because then it shows that pollen travels down the long thin style.

Well done.

Can you say style.

Your turn, well done.

I think we've got that one now, let's see the next one.

Ah, ovules.

Now we looked at these in our star words.

I remember and I've told you this already, that the oval shape reminds me of all of ovules because it's spelled out in a very similar way.

So ovules, can you draw some ovals with your fingers? One, two, three, well done really well remembered team.

I want you to now repeat those three sticky ways to remember to your screen now.

Well done everybody.

Okay, now that we've looked at the female parts, let's look at the male parts.

We're going to read together from the top out loud.

One, two, three.

The anther, oh, that's a star word.

Do you remember our action for anther? It's a bit like growing some antlers, well done.

Let's read it from the start.

The anther is the male part of a plant that produces pollen.

This is held up by the filament, well done.

The filament.

So I keep doing this for me 'cause I really want to show that it holds up the anther, but I must remember the filament is filled with pollen.

So let's look at the sticky ways to remember the male parts.

So anther is like growing antlers.

Anther is like growing? Well done, you said that really clearly.

A bit like an, if you're not sure what antlers are, then the antlers on that deer there are really tall and they grow out of the top.

So on the top of the head are the antlers.

Well done, everyone.

Now filament is filled.

So the action is a bit like filling something.

I'm pretending I've got pollen in my hand and I'm filling it a bit like, oh a pot of Pringles are filled up with Pringles.

But in this case, it's pollen because it's a plant not a pot of Pringles.

Okay, so now it's over to you.

What I'm going to do is I'm going to show you, some functions on the screen and you need to decide which part of the flower in the female part you think it relates to.

So we're going to read them first.

Let's read together.

One, two, three.

The name of the female eggs.

The name of a female eggs.

Next one.

Oh is ovules, well done.

Let's do the ovules.

Draw those eggs, well done.

One, two, three.

The long stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary.

Which bit connects the stigma to the ovary? Can you tell your screen now.

Well done, I hope you said, style.

Well done.

One, two, three.

Holds the female eggs of the plant.

Which bit holds the female eggs of the plant? There's a clue on the screen.

Well done, I hope you all said, the ovaries.

If you said ovary that's okay.

That will be one of them and singular.

Last one.

The sticky part that collects the pollen.

Can you tell your screen, which part of the female plant do you think that is? Let's see if you're right.

Oh, well done.

The stigma is the sticky part.

Well done everyone.

Oh, did you see that move? What I want you to do is if you see one of the words move, I want you to say the word out loud.

So I just saw the words ovules move.

So I'm going to say, ovules.

Your turn.

Let's see if one of the other ones move.

Looking closely, which ones are going to be, which ones are going to be ovaries? Your turn.

Let's say if another one moves.

Oh, style.

Your turn, well done.

Let's see if we get the last one to move.

Can you blow on your screen? One, two, three.

Oh, you made it work, well done.

Stigma.

Your turn, fantastic team.

Oh, okay.

Let's do the same for the male flowering plants.

So let's read the first one.

It holds up the anther.

Which bit holds up the anther? Can you tell your screen? Let's see if you're right.

Oh, well done.

The filament.

Do the actions, one, two, three.

Filament.

Team you're doing so well, give yourself a pat on the back.

We're nearly at the end of this part of the lesson.

So really good concentration.

Let's read this one together.

One, two, three.

The part that produces pollen.

What was that called? It was called the? Anther, well done everybody.

Now I've got two more for you.

Now, these maybe something that you've seen already in this lesson.

But they're not on the screen.

Let's read it one, two, three.

What is produced when male pollen meets a female egg? What is that called? What is that called? It's called a one, two, three.

A seed.

You all knew that one, let's see if you know the last one.

The outer part of a flower that attracts insects.

That attracts the insects.

Maybe I'll give you a clue.

It might be a beautiful colour.

It's called a? Petal.

Well done.

Can you say petal.

Your turn.

Okay, now what should we do? Let's blow on our screen again and see if one of them moves.

One, two, three.

You've not blown hard enough on the screen.

Can you try again? One, two, three.

Oh, seed.

Your turn.

Now, you're going to do them without me.

I'm not going to tell you what they are.

One, two, three.

I love how you did the actions about anther, well done.

One, two, three.

Petal, well done everyone.

And let's see if there's one more.

One, two, three.

Filament, well done everybody.

Give yourself a round of applause.

Those are some really tricky words and some really tricky functions for parts of the plant.

So well done.

We have looked at the function of each part.

And we know the roles and the parts.

So let's now have a look at a real flower.

Let's take a look.

♪ I'll bring you flowers in the pouring rain ♪ ♪ Did you know living without you is driving me insane ♪ ♪ I'll bring you flowers, I'll make your day ♪ ♪ The tears you cry, I'll dry them all the way up ♪ ♪ I'll bring you flowers in the pouring rain ♪ ♪ Did you know living without you is driving me insane ♪ ♪ I'll bring you flowers, I'll make your day ♪ ♪ The tears you cry, I'll dry them all the way up ♪ ♪ I'll bring you flowers, in the pouring rain ♪ ♪ Did you know living without you is driving me insane ♪ ♪ I'll bring you flowers, I'll make your day ♪ Wow, that was amazing to see it from a real flower and look at the male and the female parts.

I wonder if you've got a flower in your garden or if you find one on the floor during your walk outside either today or tomorrow, although it's raining at the moment.

I hope it's sunny where you are.

Then you might also ask your grownup if it's okay, you could pick the flower and then you could put it out on your paper and label it, just like I have.

You've got to be really careful that you don't just pick any old flower.

You'll need to ask a grownup first.

So now let's do our learning review.

I'm going to leave it on the screen so that you can pause it and see if you can fill in the gaps.

And we'll mark our answers in the start of the next lesson.

Pause the video and do your learning, if you know.

Well done, everybody I've been so impressed with today's learning.

That was a really tricky lesson with lots of new vocabulary, but you all did so well I'm really, really proud of you.

Even Lenny thinks you've been awesome.

So we're going to do the awesome cheer with Lenny on three one, two, three.

Awesome.

Well done everybody.
