9. S CIENCE 7: U NIT B T OPIC 2: S TRUCTURE AND A DAPTATIONS Why do we need to look at the structure/adaptations of plants?

10. S NAP C HAT S CIENCE What is the difference between a perennial and an annual?

11. T HE S TRUCTURE OF A P LANT Plants have 3 main parts Roots Stem Leaves/Flowers

14. T HERE ARE T WO M AIN T YPES OF R OOTS 1. Tap roots 2. Fibrous roots
