Look at the board. What can you see?

S: We can see a flower.

T: Watch this flower. This is the stem and you can see the green sepals. They look like small leaves. The petals are bigger and colorful. Inside the flower you can see the reproductive part of the plant: in the middle you can see the female part, its name is pistil. There is the ovary in the pistil and there are eggs inside it. What can you see around the pistil?

S: Stamens.

T: There are more stamens, they are the male parts of the flower. Each stamen has a bag on its top, called anther. There are millions of pollens on it. Pollens have to reach the pistil, this is the essence of pollination.
