Plants: Function: what do the parts of a plant do?

Line of Inquiry: Features of plants in our local area

The children used a puzzle as a playful way to remember the parts of a plant.

The children know that the roots role is to help the plant grow and they know the stem helps hold the flower up but they didn't know what other functions these parts have.

We read a non-fiction book explaining the functions in more detail and the children practised their understanding.

Drinking with straws illustrated how roots suck up water from the soil carrying it up the stem to the rest of the plant.

Now for the tricky part! Remember to BLOW instead of SUCKING to make root art!
