Nā Māhele o ka Lehua (“Parts of the Lehua”) is a downloadable PDF featuring a line‑drawing diagram and accompanying worksheets focused on the native ʻōhiʻa lehua flower (Metrosideros polymorpha). Labeled in both English and ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, the diagram includes key floral parts such as petals, sepals, stamens, stigma, style, ovary, and stem. Designed for classroom or self-guided learning, it complements Three Mountain Alliance’s series on native plant anatomy.
Label & color the lehua flower diagram using both English and Hawaiian terms.
Worksheet matching: Students fill in terminology and definitions to reinforce vocabulary and structure comprehension.
Reflective prompts: Discuss how each part (like the stamen and stigma) contributes to pollination, and how lehua morphology supports ecological roles.
Field extension: Take the worksheet outdoors to sketch or photograph an actual lehua blossom—identifying parts in nature.
Flower anatomy: understanding reproductive and supporting structures (e.g., stamens vs. pistil)
Plant morphology and botany: reinforcing how parts function in seed production and pollination
Bilingual literacy: strengthening ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi and English botanical terminology
Cultural and ecological connection: linking labelling activities to native plant importance and cultural recognition
