Flowers, Pollination and Seed Dispersal — Interactive Lesson (Ages 11–14)

Hibiscus, mango blossom and maize tassels all have one job: making seeds. This 18-slide interactive lesson on plant reproduction takes pupils from first ideas to exam-style explanations, with 10 self-marking activities and nothing to prepare beforehand.

Teaching Flowers, Pollination and Seed Dispersal in KS3 Science

Pupils label the male and female parts of a flower, compare the features of insect-pollinated and wind-pollinated flowers, and explain fertilisation by the pollen tube. They describe how ovules become seeds and ovaries become fruits, sort seeds by how they are dispersed, and explain why dispersal reduces competition and why pollinators matter to farmers.

What Pupils Will Learn

• Name the parts of a flower and what they do.
