Description

In this simulation game, you are a scientist discovering different strategies of reproduction and how plants reproduce. As you click on different parts of the flower, you will learn information about how plants reproduce. Drag and drop pictures to describe the process of pollination and then simulate wind and animal dispersion of seeds. Once you complete all of the simulation, you beat the game!

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Plant Reproduction Strategies. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

In asexual reproduction, the offspring are genetically identical to their parents.
In sexual reproduction, the offspring are genetically distinct from their parents.
Reproduction is a life function of an organism.
Some plants are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction.
Some plants develop seeds that can be lifted and transported easily in the wind.
The color, scent, or structures of a flower can attract insect pollinators.
The pollen of flowering plants can be spread to other plants by the wind or by insects.
The stigma is the female part of a flower with a sticky surface that allows it to catch pollen.
Wind, water, insects, and other animals are natural forces that aid in plant reproduction.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game, you will see wind blowing a flower. Why would wind need to blow seeds? What would happen to earth and living things if pollination did not happen? Why do flowers need bees and why do the bees need the flowers?

After the Game

What organisms can aid in pollination? How does the structure of the pistil affect the function? Why might a plant utilize both sexual and asexual reproduction? Given an example of a plant that is dependent on an animal to reproduce.
