BLP objective Making Links You look for connections between experiences, looking for patterns. Literacy objective • Can you use standard English to share your opinion with the class? • Can you write your answers using standard English, scientific keywords and taking care of spellings and punctuation? Key words Plant, organ, leaf, stem, flower, root, mineral, deficiency 16/10/2021

Flowers • Flowers are the reproductive organ of plants • They typically have both male and female parts. • Main role is to attach insects for pollination.

Roots • Roots take up the water and minerals from the soil • They also anchor the plant in the ground.

Stem • Stem contain xylem and phloem. • The xylem carries water and mineral up the stem • The phloem carries sugar • The stem supports the plant.

Leaves • Contain mesophyll cells packed with chloroplasts to absorb light for photosynthesis • Also contains stomata to allow gases in and out of the leaf.

Plants • In order to grow from a seed and to keep their organs functioning, they need nutrients – just like us!
