| sepal | covers and protects the flower growing inside |
| pistil | makes the eggs that grow into seeds |
| stamen | the part of the flower that makes pollen |
| pollen | tiny grains that make seeds with a flower's egg |
| flowers with fewer than 4 parts | 1 or more pistils but no stamen (or) stamen but no pistil |
| examples of flowers with fewer than 4 parts | corn and cottonwood |
| flowers with 4 parts | pistil, petals, sepal, and stamen with pollen |
| examples of flowers with 4 parts | most flowers |
| What is pollination? | the movement of pollen from the stamen to the pistil |
| How do wind and insects help with pollination? | wind and insects help to carry the pollen away |
| What is fertilization? | the combination of sperm from a pollen grain with an egg to make a seed |
| What is an ovary? | The bottom part of the pistil in which seeds form |
| Describe the process of pollination | The pollen from stamen of 1 flower gets carried to the pistil of another flower |
| Describe the process of fertilization | When pollen grain reaches a pistil, it grown a tube to ovary. Sperm from pollen grain combines with an egg and makes a seed. |
| Describe how a seed forms | Seeds grow inside the ovary after the flowers fall off |
| monocot seed | has 1 seed leaf and stored food around it (corn) |
| dicot seed | has 2 seed leaves with stored food around them (bean) |
