Use the dissecting scope to observe the stained vascular tissue of the celery stalk. Label the herbaceous stem and vascular tissue. • (IF TIME): Observe under low power using a compound microscope the slide with both the young and old pine stem.

16. Angiosperm Sexual Reproduction Journal Vocab Definitions: Pollen (86) Pollination (89) • List the SIX steps of angiosperm sexual reproduction using the provided diagrams.

17. Unscramble the steps: • Under favorable conditions, the seed germinates (sprouts). • A pollen tube grows to the ovule • The ovary around the ovule becomes a fruit (protects & helps spread the seed) • Fertilization: sperm & egg fuse in the ovule • Pollination:pollen moves from anther (male) to stigma (female) • Ovule develops into a seed

18. Angiosperm Sexual Reproduction Journal

19. Angiosperm Fruits Journal • Compare: a tomato fruit to a silver maple fruit • Draw, color and label: each type of fruit and its seeds. Use a dissecting microscope to help observe some of the detail within the fruits and seeds. Questions: How are the seeds within the fruits dispersed within an environment? How have these fruits adapted to their method of dispersal?

20. Angiosperm Seed & Germination Journal Part 1 • Dissect a lima bean seed that has been soaking in water overnight by removing the seed coat and separating the seed in half. • Draw, color and label the seed coat, young plant, and cotyledon (stored food) Part 2 • Draw the germination of a pea seed.
