Parts of a Fruit Activity

Fruit is composed of three main parts, the exocarp (the outer covering), the mesocarp (middle, juicy part), and the endocarp (the inner part of the fruit, possibly a stone).  All three parts, as a whole, are known as the pericarp.  This activity teaches the Child the correct nomenclature, and function for each part of the fruit, and how it interacts with the flower.
