  2. Strange Plants

  3. Welwitschia Mirabilis

  4. English Yew

  5. Why do we need plants to eat?

  6. We need plants to eat

  7. Plant Characteristics • Chlorophyll is the green pigment that captures energy from the sun

  8. Plant Characteristics • Photosynthesis is the process plants use to make food from carbon dioxide and energy from the sun

  9. Plant Characteristics • The cuticle keeps plants from drying out

  10. Plant Cell Structure

  11. http://www.deanza.edu/faculty/mccauley/6a-labs-plants-02.htm Plant Reproduction Fern Plants make spores in the sporophyte stage

  12. Plant Reproduction • When the spores of some plants grow, the new plants called gametophytes

  13. Gametophyte Stage • The fertilized egg of a gametophyte grows into a sporophyte

  14. Reproduction in Plants Stage 1 Stage 2

  15. Plant Classification • Vascular Plants have tissues to deliver water and nutrients from one part of the plant to the other • Fern is an example of a seedless vascular plant

  16. Vascular Plants Gymnosperm is a vascular seed plant that does not flower

  17. Plant Classification • Nonvascular Plants are plants without specialized conducting tissues • Liverwort is an example of a nonvascular plant

  18. Vascular Plant • Angiosperm is a flowering plant with seeds inside a fruit

  19. Origin of Plants • Same kind of Chlorophyll • Similar Cell Walls • Photosynthesis • Store energy in the form of starch • Two stage life cycle

  20. Blue worksheet • Work with the person sitting next to you and try to complete as much as you can • You will have 2-3 minutes

  21. Blue Worksheet Plants Have two life stages which include the Can be Classified as sporophyte Group Work!! Gametophyte Vascular Nonvascular

  22. It’s your turn! • Create a song, skit, or poem • Must have at least 3 vocabulary words • 2-3 minute song or skit • 2-3 paragraph poem • Ex: typical day in the life of a plant, Harsh conditions (Drought, no sun, etc) Photosynthesis, Cell structure • Write down song, skit, and poems, on paper with everyone’s name
