Plants

External Features of Plants
Most plants have the same main parts: leaves, stems, flowers and fruits. However, these features do not look the same.


These are flowering plants.

Parts of a plant.

The main parts of a plant are: roots, stem, leaves and flower.

Roots: they hold the plant in the ground, they also take water and minerals from the soil.

Stem: it carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.

Leaves: they use the sunlight energy, carbon dioxide, water and minerals to make the plant's own food.

Flowers: they produce seeds. New plants will grow from the seeds.

    Animals reproduce

     1.Give Birth











    2.Lay eggs











    Photosynthesis.

    Green leaves make the energy the plant needs to live.

    Water and minerals come from the soil, through the roots; carbon dioxide from the air and sunlight from the sun,through the leaves.

    All these elements are transformed into energy(in the form of glucose or sugar), the food the plants needs to grow and reproduce.

    At the end of photosynthesis oxygen is released (liberated, set free).

    UNIT 1 LIVING THINGS AND NON-LIVING THINGS

    1.  Things can be grouped as living things or non-living things.
    2.  Living things are alive.
    3.  Non-living things are not alive.
    4.  Living things
         (a) need food and water
         (b) breathe
         (c) can move by themselves
         (d) grow
         (e) can produce young
    5.  Human beings, animals and plants are living things.


    UNIT 2 OURSELVES

    (1)  We need food and water to stay alive.
    (2)  We need to eat different kinds of food to stay healthy.
    (3)  There are many kinds of food: 
          (a)  Some food gives us energy, example: rice, bread, potatoes, cake. We need energy to walk, run, play
                 and to do work.
          (b)  Some food helps us to grow, example: milk, fish, meat, butter. Growing children eat more of such     
                food to help them to grow.
          (c) d Some food helps us to stay healthy, example: fresh fruits and vegetables. When we are healthy, we 
               do not fall sick easily. 
    (4)  We grow and change as we grow older. We grow in height, size and weight.
