Year 5 scientists are currently immersed in the world of life cycles, and this week's investigation centered on the remarkable journey of a plant's life. To bring this concept to life, we conducted a comparative study of two beautiful flowers: tulips and lilies. Students actively identified the crucial male and female components responsible for plant reproduction in each specimen. By closely examining and contrasting these parts, they developed valuable insights into the similarities and differences in the reproductive strategies of these two flowering plants.
