Tuesday, March 22 Scribe Post!

Today we started class by turning in our Flower Lab ( UP 41-44). Next we went over the Plant of The Day... which is called the "String of Pearls" (Senecio rowleyan). We learned that this plant is native to dry regions in south west Africa. It's leaf shape reduces the surface area to prevent water loss. It is also a "succulent" plant, which means that it is a water-retaining plant.

Immediately after going over the P.O.D, Mrs. Stein asked us if we had any questions about the Lab quiz that we had today. After reviewing for a couple minutes, it was finally time to take the quiz.

Then, after we took the quiz, we took a few notes about POLLINATION.

Here are just a few KEY points that we took notes on:

~Pollination is the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma.

~Self Pollination.

~Cross Pollination.

~Fertilization.

~Double fertilization.

~Coevolution.

~Cross Pollination methods

-Can be pollinated by wind and also a vector pollinator!

~Seed Dispersal

-Wind, Barbs that stick to animals, animals eat/excrete seeds.

The HOMEWORK is as follows:

-PRESENTATIONS DUE TOMORROW Before 8:00 am!
