PARTS OF PLANT & PHOTOSYNTHESIS LESSON PLAN WITH WORKSHEETS: 3RD/4TH GRADES

Plants consist of various parts that work together to facilitate their essential functions, with key components including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Roots anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water and nutrients, while stems provide structural support and transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. Leaves are the primary sites for photosynthesis, containing chlorophyll which captures sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Flowers are reproductive structures that produce seeds and fruits, facilitating the plant's reproductive cycle. Photosynthesis, a vital process for plants, occurs predominantly in the chloroplasts of leaf cells, where chlorophyll absorbs light energy to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, supplying the plant with energy and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
