FLOWERS

The flowers of dicots tend to have their parts arranged in multiples of fours and fives, such as 5 sepals, five petals, ten stamens, and 5 carpels.  The flowers of monocots are based on multiples of three.

Make a exploded model of a dicot flower with labels...attach to paper.  Also do one of a monocot flower if there is one provided.
