Fascinating Fact:

Flowers come in all shapes, star-shaped, bell-shaped, tube-shaped, tiny clusters, or one big bloom.

In KS1 Science, children discover that flowers are special parts of plants. Their colours, shapes, and smells help attract insects, which then help the plant make seeds for new plants.

Key Terms

Flower: The colourful part of a plant where seeds are made.
Petal: One of the bright, leaf-like parts of a flower that helps attract insects.
Nectar: A sweet liquid inside flowers that insects like to drink.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the job of a flower on a plant?

The job of a flower is to help the plant make seeds. Its petals, scent, and nectar attract insects that help move pollen so seeds can form.

Why do some flowers look and smell different from others?

Flowers look and smell different to suit their needs. Their colours, shapes, and scents attract different insects or help them grow well in their environment.

How can children explore flowers safely in KS1 science?

Children can safely explore flowers by looking closely, counting petals, smelling gently, and using magnifiers, while avoiding picking rare plants or harming insects.
