  3. Major Unit Concepts Structure of plants Plants as resources Plants organs and Function Transport in plants Plants growth and development Reproduction in Plants Succession and Sustainability

  4. Big Ideas & Ministry Clusters BIG IDEAS: Plants have specialized structures with distinct functions that enable them to respond and adapt to their environment. Plant variety is critical to the survival and sustainability of ecosystems. OVERALL EXPECTATIONS By the end of this course, students will: F1. Evaluate the importance of sustainable use of plants to Canadian society and other cultures; F2. Investigate the structures and functions of plant tissues, and factors affecting plant growth; F3. Demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of vascular plants, including their structures, internal

  5. Misconceptions Plants obtain their energy directly from the sunTruth: plants use the sun to produce energy Plants have multiple sources of food (heterotrophic as well as autotrophic)Truth: Plants cannot consume food like animals therefore they must produce their own, plants are autotrophs Plants feed by absorbing food through their roots Plants use heat from the sun as a source of energy for photosynthesis Plants absorb water through their leaves Plants only give off oxygenTruth:……and sugar

  6. Plants get their food from the environment rather than manufacturing it internallyTruth: they make their own food through carbon fixation Food for plants is taken in from the outside. Soil supplies most of  the “raw materials” for photosynthesisTruth: Not the soil that supplies the materials for photosynthesis there must be sunlight} Water and minerals are food for plants Soil is the plant’s food. People put food (fertilizer) in the soil for plants to eatTruth: it’s the nutrients in the soil that plants require and the soil allows for a moist environment and physical support Photosynthesis is a plant process and respiration is an animal processTruth: The process of photosynthesis is the plants mechanism for storing energy that will be used in respiration. The energy is stored as chemical energy. Once the sun goes down, the plant enters the respiration cycle and uses the stored energy during the night.

  7. Connections to other Units • Diversity of living things:-Human activity-Classification (anatomical and physiological traits) • Animals, structure & function:-Reproduction ie.mitosis-Cell structure and organelles-Respiration in humans vs. plants • Genetic Processes:- Selective breeding practices-Phenotypes-Plant traits • Scientific investigation skills-Lab safety-technological investigations
