Let the students study the cones. Make a Venn diagram comparing angiosperms and gymnosperms. Today we are going to learn about two types of flowering plants. Flowering plants can be classified as monocots or dicots. We can tell the difference by looking at the leaves and seeds of the plants.
All dicots have leaves with netted veins and seeds with two sections.
The peanut plant is a dicot. The peanut seed is made up of two sections and the leaves have netted veins. Morning glories and daisies are also dicots. Their seeds have two sections and their leaves have netted veins. All monocots have leaves with parallel veins and their seeds are in one piece.
