Lesson Plan: Parts of a Plant
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to identify and describe the different parts of a plants. Students will be able to describe the different function of the plant as well.
Lesson Plan Estimated Time: This project is an minimal of an hour and ten minutes long and an maximum of an hour and twenty-five minutes, which thus can be broken into a two day lesson. Materials:
Markers
Scissors
Pencils
Construction paper
Pipe cleaners
Glue sticks
Colorful tissue paper..
Leaf Shapes worksheet
Parts Of A Plant worksheet
Life Cycle of a Plant worksheet. Introduction (5 minutes)
I will draw a picture of a plant on the board that will include the roots, a stem, flower, and leaves.
I will then ask

For example; What materials do you need in order to grow a plant? What is the most important thing you need in order to grow a plant? During the growing process, what do you need to give the plant for it to stay alive and well?
After that I will dwell into the functions of the plants:
One by one (parts of the plant), I will explain the purpose of each plant part.
I will state that the roots hold the plant into the soil. The roots ingest in water and minerals to help the plant stay alive.
Secondly, I will inform them the purpose of the stem. The stem carries water from the roots to the other parts of the plant.
Thirdly, I'll explain that the flower helps the plant reproduce.
Fourthly, I will tell my class that leaves take in air and light that a plant needs to live.
Next I will show the Leaf Shapes worksheet. This is to show them the different shapes, sizes and colors of a leaf.

Evaluation/Assessment (10 minutes)
Students will be challenged through the completion of the Life Cycle of a Plant worksheet. This worksheet will test their knowledge with the new vocabulary and information they learned about a plants growing process. I will grade and handback the Parts of a Plant worksheets as students finish them. Review and Closing (10-15 minutes)
I will have a show and tell with the students so they could become familiar with public speaking and being confident with the masterpieces. Here the will state there plant name and why they chose those colors for the plant to
I am going to identify the plants in each area and count them. I will
Many variations and species of plants can be found all around the world and in different habitats. These variations and characteristics are due to their adaptations to the natural habitat surrounding them. In three of many climatic zones, the arid, tropical and temperate zone, plants that vary greatly from each other are found in these locations. In this experiment, we’ll be observing the connection between the adaptations of the plants to their environment at the Fullerton Arboretum. The arboretum is a space containing numerous plants from different environments. The plants are carefully looked after and organized into their specific habitat. Therefore, we’ll be able to take a look at the plants within multiple
Charles Darwin once compared the root tips of plants to “the brain of one of the lower animals” he even reported electrical signal systems in plants, much like a nervous system. More than a century after Darwin, a scientist named Mancuso discovered the center for the electrical signals, or action potentials, is located in the root tips. Even small plants had nearly 14 million root tips, all acting in a similar way to a nervous system. Humans and most animals have centralized brains, meaning it is all grouped together in one spot, forming what we envision as a brain. Plants may not have a centralized brain like humans, but that doesn’t mean they lack a brain, in fact plants have “decentralized intelligence” distributed throughout them. Since plants cannot react quickly, they have no way of defending themselves against predators, so by scattering the “brain” plants avoid dying off when damaged (Marinelli). The root tips and sensory cells allow plants to feel and react to different stimuli. It is uncertain as to whether plants feel pain, but they do respond to anesthetics and react to being damaged. For example, when a caterpillar eats a plant’s leaf, the plant begins to secrete defensive chemicals. The censor cells react to the damage being done and cause the leaf to secrete chemicals to fend off the predator, as well as repair the
An avid gardener, she has written extensively about plants and the painstaking procedures required to nurture them.”
They are used to produce glucose which is used as plant food and growing materials (e.g. cellulose).A leaf which is exposed to plenty of light will have sufficient amounts of food and will not need an excessive amount of chlorophyll. This enables the leaf to have a small surface area. It is also necessary for leaves in areas of high light intensity, and thus high temperature, to have small leaves to reduce the amount of transpiration. The heat will cause water to evaporate a lot faster. Leaves in shaded areas will need a large surface area full of chlorophyll to collect as much sun light as possible; essential for survival.
specimens with the corresponding scientific description, photographs, specific maps and there are drawings that document the research. This collected images of plants continue the artist’s fascination with documentation, community engagement and art as a way to address larger social issues. This exhibit was interning to me to see all the different plant and to know that plants in the city unknown to most there are often edible, medicinal or even poisonous plants.
We depend on plants to obtain our oxygen. Plants produce glucose that assists in its living and growing and we contribute by releasing carbon dioxide. In order for us to live, we need the oxygen that plants produce by making glucose.
As a result of these factors, the flora has adapted to these conditions in a variety of ways including their shape, leaf type, root system, and color. One of the most prominent adapt...
Gregor Mendel used pea plants Pisum sativum to experiment with. He used these dure to the contrasting physical features he observed. He found that the plants were either tall or short (dwarf); flower was axial or terminal; purple of white flowers; yellow seed or green seed; round seed or wrinkled seed; green pod or yellow pod; inflated or constricted pod. He saw mathematical patterns emerge when he cross-fertilized the plants over many generations.

Plants and trees both arrange their leaves in a leaf mosaic to ensure that light reaches every leaf, which maximises the amount of light energy,
Examine a leaf cross section. Sketch and label its parts. Take note of the position of xylem and phloem and the other parts of the plant leaf.
The picture that was given to me is a seed. From a simple seed, it shows how the plant grows. Just like any other living organisms, it undergo with a process wherein growth and evolution
Without plants, none of this energy could be produced and the herbivores that humans consume would not exist. The cells in plants also undergo cellular respiration, which creates the byproduct oxygen.
