Plants use their roots, stems, and leaves to take in sunlight and water. Roots come in different shapes and sizes depending on the environment - long and thin for dry places, short and thick for wet places. Roots also provide food for some animals. Stems store water in thick forms for desert plants. Leaves vary in size based on environment - large leaves help capture sunlight in rainforests, fewer leaves or no leaves in deserts. Flowers produce pollen, which helps make seeds inside fruits. Seeds are protected by fruits and allow new plants to grow. People eat fruits, vegetables, and some flowers.
This PowerPoint helps students to consider the concept of infinity.
Lesson 1. Plants and their parts
1. Lesson1: Plants and their part
What do roots, stems and
leaves do?
Plants use their roots, stems,
and leaves to get light and water
2. Plants that grow in the rain
forest have large leaves. Large
leaves help plants take in
sunlight
Rain forest
Desert plants have few
leaves. Some desert plant
have no leaves. They store
water in their thick stems.
Joshua tree
3. Some roots are long and thin.
Plants that live in dry places
may have long roots
How can we describe roots?
Some roots are short and
thick
Plants that live in wet places
may have roots above the
ground. That way, the plant
does not get too much water
4. Roots also help animals.
Bears, raccoons and
porcupines are some animals
that eat roots
Do you like to eat roots?
We eat roots, too. Radishes,
carrots, and beets are some
of the roots we eat
5. Many plants have flowers.
Flowers are the parts of
plants that make seed
What do flowers, fruit, and
seeds do?
Inside a flower is a sticky
powder called pollen. Pollen
helps flowers make seed
Plants that have flowers
make fruit. Most of the
time, seeds grow inside a
fruit. The fruit keeps the
seed safe and helps them
grow. The seeds can
grow into new plants. We
eat the fruits of many
plants, such as apple
6. We eat the flowers of
broccoli plant
Can we eat flower?
We also eat flowers of
tonkin creeper
