Teacher's Notes
Roots -> Take in water and food (mineral salts) from soil. Anchors plants. The roots of a plant are spread out.
Stem -> "Like a straw", transports water through plant. Raises the height of flowers and leaves. Brings closer to light. Structural. The stem is made up of little tubes.
Leaves -> Different shapes. Almost always green but sometimes covered with another colour such as red. Green substance in leaves -> chlorophyll. Leaves make food for the plant. To do this they need the water and mineral salts obtained from the soil. They are carried inside little veins in the leaf. To make food leaves also need sunshine and CO2.
Flowers - > Flowers produce seeds which form new plants.
Space and warmth also needed for a plant to grow.
