Introduction: In science, we have been learning about plants and how they grow. Today we will look at the different parts of a plant and what they do.

 

Information: Use the following site to read about plants and their parts. Take notes on a separate piece of paper because there is a quick quiz at the end to test your knowledge.

Once you have visited the first site, check out this site and see if you can learn anything else about the parts of the plant and the jobs they do.

Question: Do you think you know about each plant part and its job?

 

Activity: Print out this page. Write the name of the plant’s parts on the appropriate lines. Once you have each part labeled, write a short sentence about what that part’s job is. Turn it in when you are finished. Do not forget to write your name.
