Plant Parts

1. Roots - They keep the plant standing up. It takes the water in. Plants need water to grow. It is also where takes in all the nutrients. 

2. Stems - That is where water is carried. It bring the nutrients to the leaves. The stem is what makes the plant tall to reach the sunlight. Sun is good for plants. 

3. Leaves - It where photosynthesis happens. Thats where sunlight is caught and makes food for the plants. 

4. Flowers - Where seeds come from. It has female parts called the pistil and male parts called stamens. The petals on the flower help with pollination. Petals attract bees.

Science Kids: Life Cycle of a Plant

I like this website because it quizzed me on the parts of the plant. It had all the new vocabulary words I learned. The game also gave me extra facts about the vocabulary words that I didn't know, so I learned even more!

Instructions

It has been a long and cold winter this year. Luckily, spring is just around the corner! March 20th marks the first day of spring. During the season of spring, we will begin to notice many plants, flowers, and trees starting to grow or even come back to life! In this blog, we will learn about the parts of a plant.

Here is what you will do: 

1. Only read the chapter on "Plant Parts" in  The Great Plant Escape: In Search of Green Life .

2. List all the parts of a plant. Be sure to mention why each part is important during the growing period.

3.  Provide pictures of the different parts of a plant (Click on "Insert Image", located next to "Link")

4. Label the pictures by adding a caption. (After adding the pictures, hover over it and click on "Caption")

5. Find an interactive website where we can learn more about the structure of a plant. It can either be a video or in a form of a game. (Click on "Link" and paste the website you wish to share)
