Experiment of Making a model of a simple flower

By Using of modelling clay, coloured paper and toothpicks make 3D-dimensional models representing the parts of a typical flower. This exercise is most valuable as an individual pupil activity and should fix firmly in mind the different parts of a flower .To make the flower-stalk roll a piece of modelling clay into the form of a  cylinder shape 2 cm in diameter and about 5 cm long.Press one end firmly against a desk or Table by hand and push half a toothpick into the centre of the opposite  end  as  shown  in  the Figure at n.

To make the sepals, cut a six-pointed star from green paper.Cut a hole in the centre of the star shaped at least 1 cm in diameter. Place the sepals in position on the stalk as shown at Figure b.

A field trip to observe flowers Plan a field trip to observe flowers in bloom. If no interesting wildflowers can be found growing near the school, the trip can be planned to a private garden or park. Collect some flowers.   From brightly-coloured paper, cut a corolla of petals. Cut a hole in the centre and set the corolla directly over the sepals as shown at c.

From modelling clay shape a pistil in the form of a small urn. Press this over the projecting toothpick to hold it in place, as shown at c.
Next, make stamens by putting bits of modelling clay on the ends of toothpicks. Push the toothpicks into the exposed circle of clay at the base of the pistil as shown at e.

When the flower model is finished, it can be made to look more realistic by stretching out the stalk with the fingers and bending over the flower head slightly.
