Science: Flower Power

Today at Technology my group were learning about flowers.

Today we were learning about the hibiscus. We were watching a video about how to dissect the flower, firstly you'll need a sharp knife or a butter knife just to cut down the middle. but it was tricky for us because the stigma snapped off easily so we had to be very careful when cutting the hibiscus. After we've dissected the hibiscus we carefully separate the  parts inside the hibiscus.

When we finished dissecting the hibiscus we could see the different parts of the hibiscus like the novel was very tiny and you could barely see the seeds inside it, we put the different parts of the hibiscus on the cutting board so we could get a clear view of the different parts. 

After viewing the different parts we used the ovule under the microscope but before it went under the microscope we had to use the knife or something blunt to mash up and place it on the glass and a little drop of water and then put a small piece of glass over the ovule. We put the ovule under the microscope and if you put it under some sunlight you can see the little parts clearly.

At technology today it was very interesting and fun because we got to use the microscope and it was some of our first time using it. It was cool to see the little particles and it was a clear view.
