This is the first of two lessons about reproduction in plants. This lesson covers how most plants normally reproduce—sexually. The second Science NetLinks lesson in this series, Plant Propagation, teaches how plants can be forced to reproduce asexually. In this lesson, students will learn the parts of the flower and the process of sexual reproduction in plants.
