Make a
3-D flower
In
pairs, pick a card each at random and construct a 3-D flower from the play doh.
Do not show your card to your partner. Pass the completed 'flower model' to
your partner and have them describe the flower in botanically correct terms.

Green
= Sepals
Pink
= Petals
Yellow
= Androecium (stamens)
Blue = Gynoecium (carpels; pistils)
