The Wonderful World of Plants

PLANTSI am so excited to teach you all about plants! Plants are one of my favorite things! I love working in the yard and gardening and I love to see what a tiny seed can turn into!

Plants are Everywhere!

No matter where you live, chances are you can see some type of plant. From giant trees to tiny blades of grass, plants are everywhere. And that is good news because we couldn’t live without them! Plants give us oxygen and provide food for us!

Let’s watch a quick video about planting seeds.

What did you notice?

What size were the seeds when they started? How did they change?What happened in the video that helped them change?

Why do you think the flower’s petals were turning

blue in the experiment?

Now we are going to do an experiment of our own and see if we can get a seed to

sprout!

Here is a fun song to help us remember some basic things plants need!

Homework:Notice the plants around you!

Do you think they are just beginning to grow or have

they been there a long time? Why do you think so?

See you next time Scientists!
