| Importance & Uses of Plants |
| Plant Classification |
| We learned to classify leaves and seeds as monocots or dicots by creating leaf rubbings and studying sprouted seeds. |
| Plant Parts |
| We learned the main parts of a plant and their roles by performing "Plant Parts Rap". |
| We learned to identify the various plant parts used for food by creating a "Plant Parts Web". |
| Plant Parts We Eat |
| Flowers-cauliflower, broccoli Roots-radish, beets, carrots Stems-celery, asparagus leaves-lettuce, spinach fruit-watermelon, tomato, peppers seeds-sunflower seeds, wheat, corn Seed Science We used the scientific method to determine the effect on plant growth of removing the cotyledons from sprouted bean seeds. |
