Plant Biology
📋 What it is
Plants have roots (drink), stems (transport), leaves (make food), and flowers (reproduce).
🗣️ Coach says
A plant is a team of organs. Roots pull up water and minerals, stems carry them like pipes, leaves are the solar panels that make food, and flowers handle making seeds. Each part specialises so the whole plant thrives.
🧠 Memory hook
Roots drink, stems carry, leaves cook, flowers make seeds.
😂 Giggle
Why was the mushroom invited to every party?
Because he was a fun-gi to be around!
😲 Whoa!
A single rye plant can grow over 600 km of roots in a few months — enough to stretch across a whole country if laid end to end.
✅ Quick check: Which plant part is the “solar panel” that makes food?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
The leaves — they capture sunlight for photosynthesis to make the plant’s food.
Leaves contain chlorophyll and are the main site of photosynthesis.
🧪 Try it! (2 minutes)
Look at a houseplant or weed. Point to its root job, stem job, and leaf job out loud.
