  1. Plant Reproduction Mrs. Carter 4th grade

  2. Reproduce Do you know what it means to reproduce? Reproduce means to make more of the same kind We already learned that plants grow and make their own food. What else do they do?

  3. Plants don’t all reproduce the same way! Three ways plants reproduce: • Seeds • Spores • Parts of a plant

  4. Seeds Most plants reproduce from seeds. A seed contains two things: • embryo-beginning of a new plant • Food needed for the new plant to grow The Lucky seed: http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/short-stories/the-lucky-seed Watch a plant grow from a seed:http://school.nettrekker.com/goExternal?np=/external.ftl&pp=/error.ftl&evlCode=299807&productName=school&HOMEPAGE=E

  5. Spores • A few plants, like ferns, reproduce from spores • A spore is a single cell that can grow into a new plant. Spores are released into the air by water or wind. When they land on damp ground they grow into a new plant.

  6. Vegetative Reproduction Vegetative Reproduction is when plants reproduce from parts of the plant. Examples of vegetative reproduction: • Runner • Rhizome • Tuber • Bulb

  7. Runner Strawberry plants reproduce through runners.
