Friday: Flowers, bees and seeds

Rocket lines up cards on the floor.

"Flower, bee, seed!" he says. Raven asks, "What comes between?"

Nova says, "Follow the pollen."

How flowers call pollinators

Flowers cannot walk to each other.

So flowers need help to move pollen.

Flowers can call helpers with sweet nectar.

Bright colors and shapes call helpers too.

Some flowers open at night for bats.

From flower to fruit

Pollen lands on the middle of a flower.

Then the flower can start making seeds.

A part of the flower grows into a fruit.

The fruit holds the seeds inside.
