Section 2.2 Vocabulary Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Photosynthesis Chlorophyll

Section 2.2 Vocabulary Oxygen: a colorless, odorless gas in the air that is needed for most living things to stay alive Carbon Dioxide: a colorless, odorless gas that people and animals breathe out of their lung. Plants use this to make food. Photosynthesis: the process that allows green plants to make food from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. Chlorophyll: the green coloring in a plant that captures the sun’s energy.

Parts of a Flower

Steps of Pollination Activity Each group should have a baggie with strips of paper for each group member. Each group member should empty their pieces on their desk and try to place the steps in polination in order. Once each group member is finished they should check theirs with other group members. If there are differences use your book to correct the problem as a group.

Section 2.5 Vocabulary Plant Propagation: using part of a plant to increase the number of that plant Germinate: when a seed begins to grow Plant cuttings: parts of a plant such as a leaf, stem, or root that can grow to make another plant Plant Division: the splitting apart of a plant to produce new plants

Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant Activity Each group should have a baggie with strips of paper for each group member. Each group member should empty their pieces on their desk and try to place the steps in the life cycle of a flowering plant in order. Once each group member is finished they should check theirs with other group members. If there are differences use your book to correct the problem as a group.
