Plants: Form: parts of a plant

Line Of Inquiry: The features of plants in our local area

A plant the children are familiar with is the dandelion! It's one of the few flowers they can pick freely and I'm sure many of you have been the recipient of a crumpled dandelion handed to you with a grin "I picked it for you!"
Drawing the stem

connecting the word to the part
The children examined a dandelion plant and shared what they know about the names of the parts of plants.
"This is the root!"
Individual assessments show what your child knows now about the form of plants. We will do this assessment again in a few weeks to check for growth in learning. One child didn't know the word stem and gave this plant part his own name "the holder part" I love it!
