This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on the anatomy of the flowering plant and its life cycle . There are questions on plant parts, pollination, fertilization, seeds structure and their dispersal and germination. How to Play Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. f the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs. If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer, but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair. Included in this Pack. 42 question and answer cards Teacher’s answer sheet. Instruction sheet Preparation Use double-sided printing to copy 1 set per group of 4 pupils. Sheets could be laminated to enable year-on-year use. Cut sheets into cards. Prior Knowledge Required Root, stem, leaves and flowers are organs and the flower. Functions of the root, stem, leaf and flower. The terms transpiration, guard cells, stomata, xylem, phloem, chlorophyll, chloroplast and photosynthesis. Parts of the flower; The ovule and pollen grain as the female and male reproductive cells. Pollination and the difference between self and cross pollination.
