Steps Involved:
Introduce the plant and its different parts to the students, discussing the function of each part.
Distribute magnifying glasses, tweezers, and worksheets to each student.
Divide the plant into parts (e.g., petals, leaves, stem, roots) and assign each student a different part to examine.
Allow students to use tweezers and magnifying glasses to explore their assigned plant part and record their observations on the worksheet.
Have students share their findings with the class, discussing the role of each plant part in the overall structure.
Compile the students’ observations to create a comprehensive overview of the plant’s anatomy.
