Fascinating Fact:

Some flowering plants are wildflowers, like daisies, buttercups, and dandelions brightening grass and paths.

In KS1 Science, children learn that many plants grow flowers which help them make seeds. These flowers can be garden plants or wildflowers and are important for insects and new plant growth.

  • Flowering plant: A plant that grows flowers which help it make seeds.
  • Wildflower: A flower that grows naturally outside, not planted by people.
  • Pollination: When pollen is moved to help a flower make seeds, often by insects or the wind.
What is a flowering plant in KS1 science?

A flowering plant is a plant that grows flowers to make seeds. Examples include sunflowers, roses, and many wildflowers found in gardens and fields.

Why do flowers have bright colours and strong smells?

Flowers often have bright colours and scents to attract insects such as bees and butterflies. These visitors help move pollen so the plant can make seeds.

How do flowering plants make new plants?

After pollination, flowers make seeds. The seeds can fall, be blown by the wind, or carried by animals. With soil, water, and light, they grow into new plants.
