Welcome my second grade scientists,


We will be using this blog to explore and learn about the parts of a plant. First, allow me to share with you a poem that will help you better understand the parts of a plant.

Parts of Plants 

Oh, do you know the parts of plants,
The parts of plants, the parts of plants?
Do you know the parts of plants?
That make them grow and grow?

The roots, they hold the plant in place,
The plant in place, the plant in place.
The roots, they hold the plant in place
Soak up food and water, too.

The stem moves water up the plant,
Up the plant, up the plant.
The stem moves water up the plant
Brings water to the leaves.

The leaves soak up the rays of sun,
The rays of sun, the rays of sun.
The leaves soak up the rays of sun,
And help the plant make food.

The flower grows into a fruit,
Into a fruit, into a fruit.
The flower grows into a fruit,
Which holds the tiny seeds.

Now you know the parts of plants,
The parts of plants, the parts of plants,
Now you know the parts of plants,
That make them grow and grow

After reading the poem, I would like for you to answer the following questions:

1. What part of the flower holds the plant in place?
2. What do the flowers grow into?
3. How does the sun help the plant grow?
4. What is the role of the stem?
5. What helps the plant make food?  

Once you have completed the questions, search the web and look at different pictures of parts of a plant. Use the following link to guide you:
