Introduction 4  5Bp2: Know that plants
reproduce.
A. Why Do Plants  5Bp6: Observe that
Produce plants produce flowers
Flowers? which have male and
female organs; seeds
are formed when pollen
from the male organ
fertilises the ovum
(female).
 5Bp7: Recognise that
flowering plants have a
life cycle including
pollination, fertilisation,
seed production, seed
dispersal and
germination.
