Science ACE Fieldtrip

Jeremy Lee 2O1

Botanic Gardens

Reflections• When I went there, I saw many tourists snapping away at the beautiful

scenery and flora. I also saw teachers bringing primary school students for an excursion. There was an artist and a group of adults learning how to draw nature. I learnt that plants grow strategically to optimise their chances of being pollinated. For example, insect pollinated plants are positioned near top. This helps to attract more insects as the insects are able to spot the brightly coloured petals more easily. The wind pollinated flowers grow near the edges as so that the pollen grains will be deposited on the stigmas. This trip definitely enhanced my scientific knowledge as I got to learn more about nature.
