Do you know the four main parts of a plant? Did you say...roots, stem, leaves, and flower? If so, you're right! Each part of the plant plays an important role in the plant's survival. Like animals, plants need food, water, air, and space to grow successfully. In science lab, we have been observing the life cycle of a plant. We started with placing a bean into a baggie with a damp paper towel. Our class noticed that the first bean began to sprout on Day 3. On Day 5, Cayce's bean grew a stem and leaves. She must have a green thumb! To take on the role of a scientist, students must conduct research on their topic to learn as much as they can about that particular topic (example: plants). Researching information allows students the opportunity to go deeper with the science standards. I have included several weblinks which are plant related. Have your child explore each link to learn more about the plants in our world!
