2. Lesson Objective The student will identify the parts of a common plant including 
the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, and explain the function of 
each part. Subobjective 1: The student will explain the process of photosynthesis.

3. What makes a plant unique? Click each button to see! Plants are made of many cells. Plants can make their own food. Plant cells have a cell wall. Plants reproduce by forming seeds. Plants are sedentary and usually cannot move. Plants have three basic needs to survive. sun soil water

5. Flowering plants have four major parts Move the box down to 
read about each part. leaves Leaves make all the food for the plant. They do this by changing light, 
water, and gases into food. This process is called photosynthesis. They 
also help a plant breathe, and give off water through transpiration. Flowers contain the male and female parts of the plants. Successful 
pollination of the flower can result in the production of fruit and seeds to 
create more plants. flower The stem supports the leaves and flowers. It also moves water and 
food to the leaves and flowers. Stems also transport nutrients from 
the roots to the rest of the plant as well as store unused food. stems Roots help keep the plant grounded in the soil or to other plants. 
Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil. roots

6. In order to learn about each part of the plant, 
let's start at the top! Use the magnifying 
glass to see what a 
flower is. Introducing the flower! The part of the 
plant that produces 
seeds and is 
usually colorful. The Plant Parts We Eat - Flowers Click each box!

7. Next, let's read about the leaves! Use the magnifying 
glass to see what the 
leaves are. The thin, flat and green 
part that grows from the 
stem and helps the 
plant breathe. The Plant Parts We Eat - The Leaf Click each box! Spinach

8. Next, let's read about the stem! Use the magnifying 
glass to see what a 
stem is. The main part of the 
plant that supports the branches and is 
above ground. The Plant Parts We Eat - The Stem Click each circle!

9. Finaly, let's read about the roots! Use the magnifying 
glass to see what the 
roots are. The underground part of the 
plant that absorbs food and 
water from the soil and holds 
the plant in place. The Plant Parts We Eat - The Roots Click each box!

11. Plants grow from seeds that germinate. What does it mean to germinate? Erase inside all of 
the boxes to reveal 
what's inside. The plant sprouting from 
the seed. The Plant Parts We Eat - The Seeds Click hereto 
hear the story of 
Sid, the seed as he 
germinates!

12. Drag the plant part from the word box 
over to the correct line. flower leaf stem roots

13. Match each plant part with their function. Sort each function in the box below under the correct plant part. flower stem leaf root supports leaves 
and flowers absorb water and 
nutrients from the soil gives off water keep the plant 
grounded stores food produce seeds to 
create more plants moves water and food to 
the leaves and flowers changes light, water, 
and gases into food helps the plant 
breathe

14. Food for Flowering Plants Plants are unique because they make their own food through photosynthesis. What is photosynthesis? The process that the plant 
uses to create its own food. Click on each red dot to learn more The leaves absorb 
solar energy. the gas we breathe 
in and the plants 
breath out the gas we breathe 
out and the plants 
take in The minerals and 
water from the soil get 
absorbed into the 
plants.
