Living Things CREATURE FEATURES IN DIFFERENT PLACES Lesson 6 Teacher Notes Science Inquiry Focus: What are the parts of a plant and what does each part do? Skills Development/Working Scientifically: • Questioning and predicting • Investigating and experimenting • Analysing • Recording and communicating Science Learning Outcomes: • Pupils observe the parts of a plant. • Pupils care for a seedling plant and ensure its needs are met. Technology/Engineering/Mathematics Links: • Participating in an interactive plant game to explore information about features of a plant. • Using a QR code scanner to access websites and information. Background Information • The main parts of a plant include the roots, stem, leaves, seeds, flowers and fruit. • The roots anchor the plant in the ground so it does not fall over. Roots have tiny hairs that help plants absorb moisture. They take in water and food (minerals) from the soil and can also store extra food for later use. • The stems act like straws. They carry water and food from the roots to the other parts of the plant. Stems hold up the leaves and flowers. There is usually one main stem and smaller side stems. Trees have a large stem called a trunk, with side stems called branches. • The leaves make food for the plant by capturing sunlight and using it to make food through a process called photosynthesis. Different plants have different leaf shapes, but most leaves are green. • Different plants have different flowers. The flowers are the reproductive part of plants where the seeds are made. The petals and flower scent attract bees and other insects that pollinate the flower. Flowers contain ovules. After the ovule is fertilised, it develops into fruit. • The fruit provides a covering for the seeds. They can be fleshy like an orange or hard like a nut. • The seeds contain the new plants. They form inside the fruit. Seeds contain food which new plants use until the leaves grow and they can make their own food. Seeds can be spread by wind, animals and water. Assessment Focus: • Use page 37 or the diagram created in the ShowMe app as a formative assessment of the pupil’s ability to label a diagram, and observe and describe the parts of a plant and their functions. • Use page 38 as an ongoing assessment of the pupil’s ability to record observations. Resources • Punnet of six seedlings, already flowering • Six plastic trays or large, plastic plates • Six large jars, two-litre plastic bottles with the tops cut off, to use as plant pots • Soil • Parts of a Plant video linked to QR code Viewing sample Prim-Ed Publishing – www.prim-ed.com 978-1-912760-15-2 1st Science: 35 CLASS A STEM APPROACH
