1. Introduction to Plant Life
With this slide show you will:

2. Learn what the parts of the plant look like and what their function is
Learn what the parts of the plant look like and what their function is. That means you’ll learn how each part helps the plant survive.

4. Let’s start with how a plant begins.
A plant starts out being a seed.
Inside a tiny seed is everything a plant needs to become a baby plant, or a seedling.
Do you see the seeds in this watermelon?

5. When a seed is planted in good soil, has enough water and sunlight a seed can grow into a seedling.

6. Is a seedling a new plant?
Yes?
No?

7. Is a seedling is a new plant?
Yes? Correct!
No? Sorry, incorrect answer

8. Plant Parts
Flower
Let’s take a look at the parts of a plant that are above the ground.
Leaf
Stem

9. The Stem Holds up the leaves and flowers
Brings water up to the leaves and flower
Provides structure

10. Leaves Provides a place on the plant to collect sunlight
Changes the sunlight to a special chemical called chlorophyll (chlo·ro·phyll) that turns into food for the plant.

11. Flower Brightly colored to attract insects for pollination.
The place on the plant where the seeds are formed.
Brightly colored to attract insects for pollination.

12. What are the four plant parts we’ve looked at so far

14. More plant parts:
What part of the plant do these come from?

15. Did you say roots?
Roots!
Roots are the branch like extensions of the plant that grow into the ground.

16. What do roots do?
Like a straw, they draw in water and nutrients the plant needs to survive.
Roots help the plant stay in the ground.
