Angiosperm Song

(To the tune of “On Top of Old Smokey”)

Written by Sandie Nichols

 

The parts of a flower are easy to see

The petals attract pollinators, so they can be seen

The sepal’s the outermost layer that covers the bud

The stamen produces pollen, the pistil the seed

 

The pollen is scattered by wind, birds and bees,

It’s the most important group, with flowers, fruits, and seeds

Seeds are often protected by fleshy, yummy fruit

Animals eat it, and disperse seeds by poop

 

So, the next time you enjoy, fruit, berries or nuts

Stems, leaves, roots or flowers

Thank the angiosperms
