Photosynthesis

They use the energy of sunlight, gas from the air and water to make sugar. This process is called photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis

To do this leaves must face towards the sun.

Leaves and Air

Leaves help the plant breathe as it grows.

You breathe in and out through your nose and mouth.

A plant breathes through its leaves.

Leaves and Water

Leaves pull water and minerals through the plant.

Water and minerals are taken in at the plant’s roots and pulled up the stem to every part of the plant.

Leaves and Water

Water moves through the plant from the roots, up the stem and branches and out through the leaves.

Leaves and Branches

As a tree grows, branches grow out from its stem (trunk).

Leaves grow from the branches.

Leaves and Branches

As a plant gets bigger it needs more food and more air, so it must grow more leaves.

It grows more branches so that the leaves are spread out and do not shade each other.
