  1. Seeds and Growing Plants Workbook of: _________________

  2. Parts of a plant Roots – take water from the soil Stem – support the plant, transport water and nutrients Leaves – Do PHOTOSYNTHESIS to create energy for the plant Photosynthesis = Using energy from sunlight to create food Flowers – attract pollinators Stamen – pollen on top Pistil – needs pollen to create seed

  3. Seeds look different – inside and OUT • Look at a seed with your eyes, record OBSERVATIONS SEED:__________________________ OBSERVATIONS: __________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________ • Look at a seed with a microscope SEED: ___________________________ OBSERVATIONS: __________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

  4. Seeds • Match the word to the part of the seed and plant! • Hypocotyl First leaves • Radicle Epicotyl/stem • Cotyledons/endosperm  Root

  5. GERMINATION What is germination? GERMINATION  ___________________ __________________________________ __________________________________ Steps: • Seed coat breaks • Radicle becomes ROOT 3. Hypocotyl and epicotyl become the STEM 4. First leaves grow  photosynthesis

  6. Plants need NUTRIENTS Nutrients = Chemicals that are needed fro growth Plants needWhere are they? Carbon Oxygen ________________ Hydrogen Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium _________________ Calcium Magnesium Sulfur

  7. 3.5 pH=7 10.5 pH of Soil pH = measure how acidic or basic something is  What is the pH of each soil sample?

  8. What conditions are the best for plant growth? • Water • Sunlight • Soil - pH, - nutrients Under what conditions did our plants grow the best? ____________________________________ Why? ________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________
