Parts of a Plant: Anatomy and Structure Virtual Lab

Dissection is a type of investigation where scientists carefully cut organisms open to study their anatomy. This hands-on examination of organisms’ internal structures gives us insight into how they function. In this virtual lab, you’ll use dissection to explore how the structure of each plant organ is intricately linked to its unique purpose in sustaining life through photosynthesis. Feel free to follow along with your own flower!
