I use this resource when I am teaching plants in the spring. I get flowers from the local grocery store and we start dissecting them so students can see the male and female reproduction structures. Well illustrated and easy to follow for students. I also use a stereoscope for them to really get up close and see the pollen produced by the flower. Lots of oohs and aaahs! Using magnifying glasses lets kids see the ovules in the flower but a stereoscope does an even better job. Our local middle school loans them to me.
