The Parts of a Plant

Reading ScienceFirst Grade: Organisms and Environments

1

Plant Parts (B)Organisms and Environments

2

There are many different kinds of plants. Do you know all the parts of a plant and

how the parts help it stay alive?

seed roots

stem

leavesThis is a

pumpkin plant.

Can you name the parts?


3

seed

Before it grows, the seed holds the plant.

roots

The roots bring water and food from

the soil into the plant.


4

stem

The stem carries water to the leaves and supports

the plant.

leavesThe leaves catch light from the Sun. The plant uses the

Sun’s energy to make food.


5

The pumpkin plant will soon make a

flower.

The flower’s job is to make the seeds.

Do you see the baby pumpkin?

This is the fruit of the pumpkin plant.


6

If you break open the pumpkin, what will you find?

Seeds!

If you put the seed in soil, what will happen?

Plant Parts (A)Organisms and Environments

Plants have different parts, including seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The parts of each type of plant may look different from those of other plants.

Look at this picture-chart of the different types of seeds planted in a classroom garden:

1. Write a number sentence to show how many more oak trees than sunflowers were planted with their acorns or seeds.

_____________ – _____________ = __________________

2. How many beans were planted in the garden? ____________

3. How many seeds were planted in the garden? ____________

Type of plant Number of plants (Each bean, seed or acorn represents 1 plant)

Bean

Sunflower(seed)

Oak tree(acorn)

Plants in the Garden

2

Stems help to carry water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves of the plants.

Some stems are thick, and others are thin. Use both the counting cubes and the paper clips to measure the stems below.

4. The vine stem is _______ paper clips tall and _______ counting cubes tall.

5. The sunflower stem is _______ paper clips tall and _______ counting cubes tall.

Post-Assessment Plant Parts

1. A plant needs leaves to – a take water from the soil b make food from the Sun c keep the ground shaded d give food to insects 2. The picture shows a plant. The arrow is pointing to a –

a Leaf b Stem c Root d Flower

3. Water can move through a straw. What part of a plant could straw model?

a Flower b Leaves c Stem d Seeds

4. The roots of a plant help hold the plant in the ground. The roots also –

a take water from the soil b give the plant its energy c produce seeds for the plant d hold the leaves up to the sun

5. The drawing shows leaves from two different plants. Larger leaves means the plant can – a create more flowers b grow deeper roots c make more food d have thinner stems

6. Look at this picture.

Name two parts you can see on this plant.

Chick Wants to Know

Animal Life Cycles (B)Organisms and Environments

2

Chick asked her mother, “What did I look like when I was little?”

Mama Chicken said, “Well, you started out as an egg with a hard shell. You

pecked your way out of the egg when you hatched.”


3

“Then you grew and grew,” Mama said.

“Will I get big like you?”

“Yes,” Mama said. “You will lay eggs and have little chicks too!”


4

“Am I the only animal that hatches from an egg?” Chick asked.

“No, all birds start out as eggs with hard shells,” Mama said.


5

“Your friend Frog started out as an egg, too. A frog lays soft eggs.”

“Tell me about other animals that started out like me,” Chick said.


6

“Insects, snakes, turtles, and fish all lay eggs, but not with a hard shell.”

“I look like you, Mama,” said Chick. “Are there other animals that look like their

parents?”


7

“Lots of babies look like their parents.”

Chick said, “I’m glad I look like you, Mama!”

“I love you, Chick,” said Mama.In this story Chick learned how the life

cycle of many animals begins with an egg. What animal eggs have you seen?

!!!!!!!!!!!!

All living things have a life cycle. A cycle is the series of events that repeats. A life cycle begins at birth and ends at death. As living things grow and have babies, the life cycle repeats.

Butterflies have four stages in their life cycle. Their life cycle begins at the egg stage. Next, they grow and change into the caterpillar. Then, the caterpillar becomes a pupa. The final stage is when the butterfly breaks out of its shell and becomes an adult. The cycle repeats when the adult butterfly lays eggs.

Name: ________________________________________

Directions: Use the text and the diagram above to answer the questions.

1.  In which stage of the life cycle is the the butterfly changing from one form to another?

a.  stage 1 b.  stage 2 c.  stage 3 d.  stage 4

2.  How many stages does a butterfly life cycle have?

a.  1 b.  2 c.  5 d.  4

3.  What does the word cycle mean? __________________________________________________ 4.  What is the title of the diagram? __________________________________________________ 5.  After which stage does the life cycle repeat?

a.  Stage 1: Egg stage b.  Stage 2: Child stage c.  Stage 3: Pupa stage d.  Stage 4: adult stage

4. Adult stage: The butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.

3. Pupa Stage: The caterpillar creates a chrysalis where it will begin to change.

2. Child stage: The caterpillar eats milk weed.

1. Egg Stage: Life begins as an egg.
