Grades 6–12 (Kit)
Fold your way to flower power! This hands-on kit helps students explore flower anatomy by creating 3D origami flower models. As they fold, assemble, and label each part, students gain a deeper understanding of how flower structures work together to enable reproduction and support pollinators.
Perfect for life science, biology, or plant science units, this activity combines art and STEM to engage visual and kinesthetic learners while reinforcing plant anatomy vocabulary.
Kit Contents
- Origami paper (enough to make 30 flowers)
