SAMPLE PRINTABLE MATERIALS ARE BELOW

The instructional materials are: cards where you can use as flash on daily drills or as a classroom decor, parts of a plant puzzle, coloring activities, word search, labeling the parts of a plant, sorting parts of a plant and plant needs, drawing plants that correspond to the parts of a plant.

FLOWER

Flowers are the reproductive units of most plants and create seeds. The female part of a flower is called pistil, which is made up of the stigma, style and ovary. The male part is called the stamen and is made up of the anther and filament. In most flowers, the stamen surrounds the pistil. Fertilization happens when pollen lands on the stigma and a tube grows down the style to the ovary, creating on ovule. Male cells join the ovule and fertilize it, creating a seed. Flowers are bright and attractive to bring birds, bees and insects, which help with fertilization when they transfer pollen from one flower to another.

LEAVES

Leaves are important to a plant because that's where the food is made in a process called photosynthesis. The leaves capture sunlight and use light, water, chlorophyll and carbon dioxide to make glucose and sugar.The waxy coating on the outside of leaves is called a cuticle and is made to protect the leaf.

STEM

Plant stems are attached to roots and carry water and nutrients to the rest of the plant. Cells in the stem that carry water is called xylem cells, while those that carry are called phloem cells. Stems also provide support for a plant, allowing it to stand upright. Some stems, such as of those flowers, can be soft and bendable. Others, such as tree trunks are woody and strong.

ROOTS

Roots helps anchor a plant into the ground, rock or whatever it is growing. Roots also absorb water and minerals that help the plant grow. They have the small hairs that extend from the main roots and help with absorption. A plant's roots store carbohydrates and sugars the plant may need in the future. Some plants such as carrots and potatoes, have taproots system. Others like grasses and flowers have fibrous systems.
