Roots ๐ฑ underground [Illustrator: plant pulled up showing roots dangling in soil.] | ๐ Teaching tip: Roots hold the plant in the ground AND drink water from the soil. Two jobs at once! ๐ Bonus leap: Name a vegetable that IS a root. (Carrot ยท parsnip ยท potato.) |
Stem ๐ชต holds up the plant [Illustrator: a strong green stem with arrows showing water rising.] | ๐ Teaching tip: The stem is like a tower. It holds the leaves up to the sun and carries water up from the roots. ๐ Bonus leap: What is the stem of a tree called? (A trunk!) |
Leaves ๐ catch sunlight [Illustrator: a leaf with sun rays hitting it.] | ๐ Teaching tip: Leaves are the plant's kitchen โ they catch sunlight to make food. Flat and wide so they catch as much sun as possible. ๐ Bonus leap: Why do you think most leaves are green? (Green colour helps catch sunlight.) |
Flower ๐ธ makes seeds [Illustrator: a bright flower with bees nearby.] | ๐ Teaching tip: Flowers attract bees and butterflies, and they grow into seeds that can make brand-new plants. ๐ Bonus leap: Name your favourite flower colour. |
