Labelling the parts of a pua/flower

Although flowers come in all shapes, sizes, colours and scents, most will have the same basic parts to ensure that pollination, fertilisation and seed production take place.

The articles Flower parts and Te haenga me te ruinga o te kākano ❘ Pollination and seed dispersal have helpful background information about the plant parts and their purposes.

In this activity, students use online and/or paper resources to identify and label parts of a pua/flower.

By the end of this activity, students should be able to:

• identify and label some of the main parts of a pua/flower

• use te reo Māori and English to label the parts of a pua/flower

• use literacy skills to learn about and discuss the function of each part.
