What are the three things that every plant needs?
Before we begin
SOIL
The SUN
WATER
3
What is this part of the plant?
Its under the ground
It can be very big and/or very long.
Or it can be short and tiny.
Make a final guess...Still dont know?
What are the jobs of roots?
The Roots
4
The Roots
helps provide support by anchoring the plant
They absorb water and nutrients needed for growth.
They can also store sugars and carbohydrates the
plant uses to carry out other functions
5
Foods that are Roots!
Potatoes
Carrots
Radishes
Onions

What is the next part?
Make your guess !!

.
The Stem!!
Stems provide support for the plant allowing the
leaves to reach the sunlight they need to produce
food
The food produced by the leaves moves to other
parts of the plant.
Stems carry water and nutrients taken up by the
roots to the leaves
8
Can you guess what foods are stems that we eat ?
What are these Veggies Called?

Asparagus
Celery
Leek

The Leaf

• Leaves are the food making factories of green
  plants.
• Leaves come in many different shapes and sizes
• Simple, made of a single leaf blade connected by
  a petiole to the stem (oak, maple).
• Compound, in which the leaf blade is divided into
  separate leaflets attached by a petiole to the
  stem (ash, locust).
• Leaves are made to catch light and have openings
  to allow water and air to come and go.
• The outer surface of the leaf has a waxy coating
  which protects the leaf.
• Veins carry water and nutrients within the leaf.

Simple
Compound
Which leaf is which?
11
Photosynthesis

• In this process, carbon dioxide and water in the
  presence of chlorophyll (the green pigment) and
  light energy are changed into glucose (a sugar).
• This energy rich sugar is the source of food used
  by most plants.
• Photosynthesis is special to green plants!
• Photosynthesis supplies food for the plant and
  oxygen for other forms of life.
• A green plant helped make the oxygen you are
  breathing today.

is this?
What Part
Now come on, this is an easy one!
13
The Flowers

• Flowers not only look pretty but, in fact, are
  important in making seeds.

• The pollen lands on the stigma, a tube grows down
  the style and enters the ovary.
• Male sperm cells travel down the tube and join
  with the ovule, fertilizing it.
• The fertilized ovule becomes the seed, and the
  ovary becomes

14
The Fruit
After fertilization, the ovary swells and becomes
either fleshy or hard and dry to protect the
developing seeds.
The fruit is the ripened ovary of a plant
containing the seeds.
Many fruits help seeds spread.
Many things we call vegetables are really fruits
(tomato, cucumber, beans).
