Pollination

Year 7 plasticine pollination. Each pupil Makes plasticine pollen (can discuss dispersal as they make spiky, smooth etc pollen grains), then make stigma out of plasticine. Show first, then do as a class.... Here comes the pollen.... (swoop pollen towards stigma) Pollen 'sticks' onto stigma Much hilarity as kids try to make their pollen bury itself in the stigma (making a pollen tube Big bang as pollen in pollen tube reaches egg Kids curl up as embryo plant in seed And leap out of their seats (noisily) in the manner of music and movement ..and becomes a new PLANT!!
