April showers bring May flowers but with Flowering Plants you can see flowering plants spring to life all year long.

Beautifully animated and illustrated, this program provides vivid images describing the life cycle from flower production to seed set and germination. Each event is broken into separate series of detailed illustrations and voice-overs describing the processes of pollen formation, egg production, and fertilization. Watch fruit dispersal occur before your eyes! Clear up the confusion about the differences between fruits and vegetables. You'll find that flowers are more than just pretty blooms.

Topics covered in this program include: Plant Classification, Structure and Function of a Flower; Modes of Pollination; Sexual Reproduction versus Asexual Reproduction; Lifecycle of an Angiosperm; Fruit Production; Differences Between Fruits and Vegetables; and the Importance of Fruits and Vegetables to Humans and Other Animals

Presentation
The Presentation portion of this program includes audio-narrated scenes featuring the content from the objectives.
