Flower Dissection

 The Biology Co-op class is dissecting fruit and flowers this morning.  The daffodils I bought two years ago for Biology and replanted are blooming.  This year's Co-op class is unusually diligent.  The kids used the guides described in this post to dissect and label the daffodil and the amaryllis flowers which had finished blooming.  (The bulb was a Christmas present from two students.)  One year in Co-op the live flowers were too expensive for 19 students.  Here is the post where we used fake flowers from Michaels.  

The teens did NOT use a dissection guide.  Instead, they followed instructions, laid out their flower parts, took photos, and labeled images digitally to use later when we do Botany.
